SF Chronicle columnist Leah Garchik on the Gogol Bordello benefit for Muttville
As mentioned here last week, Gogol Bordello played loud, raucous, Gypsy punk at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. That night at Slim’s, the tough guys played again, at a sold-out benefit for Muttville Senior Dog Rescue.
Muttville’s site features aw-inspiring pictures of elderly dogs needing homes. A supporter had sent a video to friends who forwarded it to Gogol Bordello drummer Eliot Ferguson, who spread the word to bandmates. Everyone loves a puppy; it takes a real softy to honor the elders. As lead singer Eugene Hutz proclaimed at the show’s start, “This is for all the little doggies!”
