    Gogol Bordello frontman Hütz was born in the Ukraine near Chernobyl, and spent much of his childhood in European refugee camps after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster forced him and his family to flee. After emigrating to the US in 1990, he moved from Vermont to New York City and formed the band with Sergey Ryabtsev (fiddle), Oren Kaplan (guitar), Yuri Lemeshev (accordion), and Eliot Ferguson (drums). The band has endured minor lineup changes and recorded four full-length albums, which have been critically acclaimed.
