**JUNE 10, 2022 (New York, NY) — **“’**Teroborona**’ is a term for Civil Defense
Units formed of civilians who stood up to protect Ukraine,” explains **Eugene Hütz**,
the fiery and intensely charismatic frontman of self-proclaimed gypsy punk rock 
band **GOGOL BORDELLO **about the English translation of the title of their new 
[song](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=3fb81c92be&e=615f2b8493)
whose [video](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=6ea0ed133e&e=615f2b8493)
is released today, **June 8, 2022**_via_** Cooking Vinyl**.  A provocative and humanizing
video, “Teroborona” puts a very real face on the Ukrainian militia who are currently
fighting against Russian invaders to their homeland. The song can be streamed/purchased
here: [https://GB.lnk.to/teroborona](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=019d427afd&e=615f2b8493).

With scenes depicting fresh-faced civilians picking up arms and performing drills
to prepare for battle, the video is an incendiary statement about Ukrainian patriotism
and its widespread embrace. “Many of my artist and musician friends had to pick 
up arms and join Teroborona,” he continues. “This is a dedication to their courage
and to the courage of all defenders. The song is rooted in Ukrainian traditional
dance ‘Arkan,’ one of true Ukrainian Hutzul spirit.”

Interspliced with scenes of Gogol Bordello and featured guests **The Cossacks** 
performing the song, “Teroborona” not only offers moral support but practical support
as well.  All proceeds from the sale of the track will go toward the band’s **Cauze**
campaign ([https://cauze.app.link/tDUGnELegob](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=b43329ce95&e=615f2b8493)),

**Gogol Bordello “Teroborona”**

Currently on tour in Europe, Gogol Bordello and especially Hütz have been on the
forefront to bring more attention on the invasion of Ukraine. Bearing witness as
his homeland endured the heinous barrage of a violent and deadly invasion from Russia,
Eugene recently joined forces with **Les Claypool** of **Primus **to collaborate
on “[Zelensky: The Man With the Iron Balls](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=71ee702dcc&e=615f2b8493),”
a joint release to rally support for the Ukrainian people. The track also features**
Stewart Copeland**, **Sean Lennon**, **Billy Strings**, and fellow Gogol bandmate**
Sergey Ryabtsev**. Proceeds from the sale of the single will be donated to [Nova Ukraine](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=0943e5d334&e=615f2b8493),
a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing humanitarian aid to the people of
Ukraine.

In addition, Eugene collaborated with NYC punk stalwart **Jesse Malin** for a cover
of The Pogues’ classic “**If I Should Fall From Grace With God**.” Released exclusively
_via_[ Bandcamp](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=02873d85b4&e=615f2b8493),
all proceeds for that single will benefit the [U.S.-Ukraine Foundation](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=714617e026&e=615f2b8493),
which “supports the development of democracy, a free-market economy and human rights
in Ukraine, and the strategic partnership between the U.S. and Ukraine.”

Formed in 1999, Gogol Bordello took their style of Eastern European-influenced gypsy
punk and doused it deep into the underground rock of New York City. Imminently beginning
a U.S. tour (tour dates below) with the aforementioned European dates to follow,
Gogol Bordello have been praised for their recorded material but especially heaped
with accolades about their live shows. The **Wall Street Journal** raved about the
band’s live performance saying, “**Gogol Bordello mashed punk energy with Eastern
European modes for a set that received the wildest reception of any show I saw,**”
while the **LA Times** said, “**Gogol Bordello celebrates sensuality in both words
and raucous, joyful internationalist dance rock**.” **Pitchfork** proclaimed, “**
Eugene Hutz and his acoustic guitar slapping (think Les Claypool’s hands, but on
a six-string) and waving arms summoned the crowd which quadrupled in size by the
set’s fourth song. Festival goers were literally running toward the stage” **while**
Consequence** hailed “the ever-evolving collective has defied the boundaries of 
continents and genres in their quest for spiritual illumination through gypsy punk.”
