East Infection is currently the only EP by Gogol Bordello, released in 2005 by Rubric Records. Released prior to the album Gypsy Punks, it consists of leftover tracks from that album's sessions.
The title track remains a live favourite. "Ave. B" was rerecorded as "Avenue B" for Gypsy Punks, and "Strange Uncles From Abroad" was rerecorded as "My Strange Uncles From Abroad" for Super Taranta! "Copycat" is also notable for being the band's first song in the dub style. "Mala Vida" is a cover of a song by Mano Negra, and "Madagascar-Roumania" incorporates a traditional Boyash folk song, "Tu Jésty Fáta" (standard Romanian: "Tu Esti Fata").
All songs by Eugene Hütz. All music by Eugene Hütz and Gogol Bordello, except "Mala Vida" (Mano Negra) and "Tu Jésty Fáta" (Romanian folk song).Enhanced Element:
