Life In A Bungalo

Get ready for a big monster throwdown, and I’m not talking Cloverfield. The Kaiju Big Battel guys are heading back to New York on February 9 for a knockdown, beat up, kickass brawl at…wait for it…Webster Hall. Okay, I have no idea how they are going to cram all that Kaiju goodness into a glorified dance club, but hell, WWE use to tape shows from the ESPN Zone.

Life In A Bungalo caught up with Dave of Kaiju Big Battel to find out more about the show and big monster wrestling:

Kaiju Big Battel has always operated of the wrestling industry. We use a lot of the fundamentals of wrestling but we never really treated it like a wrestling show. It’s more like a multimedia event that was more akin to a party than your typical indie wrestling fed. I think Webster Hall is going to be excited. I’m excited to go to that room and I think if it sells out it’s going to be a hot night and we definitely have some surprises for the show including this black box concept, and we have a musical surprise. I’m really looking forward to it.

Where: Webster Hall, 125 East 11th St., Manhattan, NY

With his striking mustachioed looks and a sound that can make just about anyone break into a circle dance, Eugene Hutz has taken his troupe of gypsy punks from obscurity to stardom. The band: Gogol Bordello. The sound: Like nothing you’ve ever heard before. They straddle the line between Th’ Legendary Shackshakers and traditional gypsy flamenco, blending accordians, strings, and distorted guitars with tales of hope, defeat, and triumph.

This year, Gogol Bordello have released their best record to date, and hands down the record of the year at Life In A Bungalo. We gave frontman Eugene Hutz a call before his upcoming New Year’s Eve show at New York’s Terminal 5 to learn more about the band’s rise to stardom, and what it’s like being a punk in the Ukraine.
