I really feel like I missed the boat on this one. This album came out in 2005 and they have a new one that came out yesterday. Balkan Beat Box has gotten a ton of press with many large publications. I'm at a loss as to how I missed this. Balkan Beat Box was formed in Brooklyn by Israeli born founders Ori Kaplan (Gogol Bordello) and Tamir Muskat (Firewater, Big Lazy). The group has a revolv...

The U.S. Navy knows me really well. So well, in fact, that they just sent me a truly unbelievable offer. I can get 5 FREE MUSIC DOWNLOADS just for filling out a simple form at navy.com/action. But that's not all- in order to receive these downloads, I have to be willing to be called by a Navy recruiter "to verify my information". Thank goodness they also let me know that it is okay "to feel...

Sept. 7th at the Empty Bottle is Golem and Balkan Beat Box. Looks like it's going to be a hell of a fun show. Kinda so-so on the available clips from the Golem website. Sounds good, but seems like the novelty might wear off quickly on a long set. Balkan is our main focus for going, and is rumored to put on a great live show. We missed them earlier in the year, so I'm doing backflips that they'r...

Good job, JDub Records. What an amazing night. The evening began with DeLeon, who really need to get their own for-real website. I'm not positive, but I believe these guys only play folk songs that are centuries old, but they play them with a very rocked-out twist. Their lyrics are mainly in Spanish, but sometimes the songs are about Hanukkah, so maybe they're Spanish Jewish folk songs?
