Balkan Beat Box new LP and Southern Tour  

Brooklyn-via-everywhere act Balkan Beat Box has a new record, Nu Med, due May 15 on JDub Records. They're also in the middle of a tour that brings them through the southeast for the next week or so, including a Wednesday (4/25) night stop at Smith's Olde Bar in Atlanta. They've received a considerable amount of notoriety in indie and world music circles so I doubt an extended introduction is necessary -- I think of them as occupying that sliver on the Venn diagram where Dark Meat, Matisyahu, and Gogol Bordello intersect. Nu Med picks up where their debut left off, with strains of electronica, klezmer, gypsy music, rock, and hip-hop in their eclectic output. I hear the live show is great, although I've never seen them on stage. 04/25/07 >> go there
