00:02I'm Eugene Hoots from Gogol Bordello. What else do you want to know?
00:06Yeah, I think it was a pretty exemplary appearance on the festival, I would say.
00:12Today in the rating. It was a great spot. Main stage.
00:18You know, whenever you want us to play main stage this size, we're there to provide an exemplary appearance on
00:27the festival.
00:27They missed a world-class gypsy rock and roll machine.
00:36You know, I've played like 2,000 festivals in the last three years.
00:41So you must have plenty. I don't know.
00:46A lot of them are, you know, crazy. I don't know, I can't tell like this. I can't tell like
00:53this.
00:55This was exemplary. I mean, I mean, I remember what it's like being a fan, of course.
01:01And I grew up listening to Nick Cave. You know, I should talk to them about them.
01:08Stooges. So those were all my people, you know.
01:10The worst thing. I don't know if it classifies as the worst, but somehow we ended up bringing people over
01:21the border that were not supposed to be in our merchandise trailer.
01:30You know, we only realized that later on when they already completed the transaction.
01:36And where are they now?
01:38Now they're out on the loose, you know, looking for the new jobs and the land of opportunities.
01:43And did you financially, did you make money out of this or did they just...
01:46No, we didn't know anything about it. It just happened.
01:49You know, I'm not going to say from which country to which country, but I think you can guess.
01:59Chuck.
01:59There.
