Balkan Situations Live Reunion on WFMU

DJ Rob Weisberg was kind enough to have us perform on his show, Transpacific Sound Paradise, last Saturday May 3rd. It was an honor to play at the legendary WFMU down in Jersey City. We sounded surprisingly good, considering we hadn't all played together for an entire year. Check out the archive of that show here:

Our performance starts after about 1 hour into the show.

The Balkan Situations will be recording a new album this week in the WESU studio; if are interested in obtaining a copy, please write to thebalkansituations AT gmail DOT com

A video we made a few weeks ago, featuring the combined talents of the Balkan Situations and Isto (a subway musician whose songwriting, talent, and sense of humor have made something of youtube celebrity) performing a cover of the song "Guitar" by Peter Nalitch.
