Golgo Bordello meets Oingo Boingo meets Shakira meets Fiona Apple meets Danny Elfman. The best way for me to explain what I witnessed last night at The Annex in the Lower East Side.
Nanuchka's myspace page says NYC and their website says by-way-of-Tel Aviv. Gypsies, punks, vixens, party people lookin’ for a good time in the darkness of NYC nights? You'll just have to take my word for it until you get to see them yourself...
The show starts off with a weird little alien-like creature coming on stage (a guy in a black brimmed hat and a halloween mask with a black plastic bag wrapped around his forhead.) He mumbled into the mic and pointing to people out in the crowd as if he was looking for someone. Then he rolled around on the floor while a camera girl filmed it all.
The band finally makes their way on stage and begin playing with no stalls or last minute sound check. The singer, bassist, keyboardist, Nula stood front and center looking exotically sexy yet militantly strong and firm. Long flowing brown hair with fire red low lights and poison red lipstick that could kill. A traditional black asian dress w/ slits up the legs to her mid thigh and black shit-kicker knee-high boots. The guitarist, Roy Gurel, looked like son of the gypsy king with his long, black hair and mysterious mad-in love eyes. Wearing a black shirt w/ white pin stripes, black skinny pants, and black boots. The way he plucking away at his guitar effortlessly yet so perfect. The drummer, John Gurel, played deep cabaret rock-like beats. Looking sleek and conservative yet handsome and smart with a mischiefous smile.
Together they played wonderfully and kept the momentum up to a 10 throughout the show. Erie-yet-dancable bass lines, strong smoky vocals (sounded a bit like Shakira without the belly dancing, haha), a snappy guitar and deep drum beats, I felt like I was listening to a Tim Bertun movie soundtrack.
Go to their myspace page to listen to three great songs, my two favorite are "Red" and "Wonderful". I bet these gypsy princes and princess would get lots of luv from a Golgo Bordello audience. They get my full luv with ****! One thing I wish I could have heard in their sets: Hebrew and English lyrics. Now that would make them even hotter!
