I must profess that when it comes to the current music scene, yours truly is not one who is hip to 'the happening bands of the moment' though we make an effort.
In fact, I have only recently 'discovered' the '90s English band Blur even though the band broke up (well, they've now apparently reunited) some ten years ago!
So, it gives me great pleasure that according to a tweet from "TimeOut Chicago," there is at least one Lolapalooza Festival-goer who has no idea where Gogol Bordello, one of my favorite bands 'of the moment' is from.
According to the tweet, a staff reporter for the journal overheard someone ask if the New York-based Russian-emigre punk band was Australian?
Perhaps, they got them mixed up with Men at Work?!
As for Gogol Bordello, after their festival stint in Chicago, the band will perform with Primus in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on Monday. Why is Iowa (where Devo also performed recently) getting all the hip shows?

I don't know if you'll see this because your post is over a year old, but I thought you might 1)Find this interesting and 2)Learn about another band that you might like who is similar to Gogol.
There is a band similar to Gogol Bordello called Vulgargrad. They are from Australia. You can see them on Youtube...
Anyway, maybe the people who thought Gogol Bordello were from Australia might have been confusing them with Vulgargrad. (Psst. If you like Gogol, you should check this band out!! ;)
