Thomas Gobina from Gogol Bordello

Is a hell of a bass player! Don't know how many of you like Gogol Bordello's brand of "gypsy punk" but I find it an absolute blast. I THINK, but am not sure, that Gobina uses a Lakland of some sort but haven't been able to find and when I saw them last year I was too far from that end of the stage to see. Whatever it is though, it has a really nice, bassy, sort of gritty sound. Makes me want to try harder!

Agreed, they're a blast. btw 18 years ago I used to play with their guitarist Oren Kaplan and former bass player (then drummer) Rea Mochiach.

No kidding? That's pretty cool! What kind of music were you guys playing back then?

[ilan]

Alternative rock, mainly.
