Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Eastern (Rock) Bloc

Not unlike Balkan Beat Box, DeVotchKa or genre darlings Gogol Bordello, the Somerville Symphony Orkestar filter Eastern European influences through a distinctly Western prism of rock, pop and punk. The band’s self-titled debut album was a hit in and around their native Boston, so now they’re taking the gypsy-punk caravan on the road, including a stop this Saturday, February 4, at Burlington’s gyp-ster haven, Radio Bean.
