Saw Counterfeit Gypsies at the 2007/2008 Woodford Folk Festival and they were totally mad. I have never seen such a high energy show. The literally had 300 people in a tent (in mud) jumping to Eastern European style folk music. There genre can only be described as aussie eastern european folk on speed.
Wonky Donkey is an energy-packed performance featuring Gypsy, Balkan and Eastern European tunes hand picked for their memorable melodies and arranged with the trademark rhythms and harmonies (not to mention the speed) that The Counterfeit Gypsies have become well-known for. (2003) Read Review
Music to Vacuum to is the band's Debut album ‘ Music to Vacuum to' is a collection of traditional Eastern European interpreted in a modern way that moves a little from their traditional realm, but in a way that is true to this sometimes wild and manic music. Guaranteed to make your carpets 120% cleaner in around half the time! (2004) Read Review
Appropiate Footware continues the mind blowing and totally danceable folk rock genre we all know love and expect from The Counterfeit Gypsies. Their records do not do justice to the energy of their live performances (2007)
