Song of the Day - November 25, 2005

It's time for a little gypsy folk punk, if you are a fan of Gogol Bordello, you are sure to like Mischief Brew. Mischief Brew could be described as a cross between Django Reinhardt and The Violent Femmes. I love the rawness of the sound, the lyrics, and the total energy of Mischief Brew's songs. Mischief Brew is Erik Petersen of Philly. I suppose Philly is not the gypsy punk center of the universe, but regardless of where Erik's influences came from, I am not to quibble, as the music is excellent. Check out the track "Ramblers Ghost." It will get you up and moving after yesterday's day of gluttony. Click here to listen.
