JESSE MALIN + EUGENE HUTZ COVER THE POGUES CLASSIC “IF I SHOULD FALL FROM GRACE WITH GOD” TO BENEFIT THE U.S.-UKRAINE FOUNDATION

Jesse Malin and Ukrainian-born singer Eugene Hutz of Gogol Bordello have teamed up for an impassioned new version of the Pogues’ “If I Should Fall from Grace with God,” out today, April 29, on Velvet Elk Records. All proceeds from the exclusive Bandcamprelease will benefit the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation and the people of Ukraine in their fight for their homeland against Vladmir Putin’s brutal war of aggression.

Malin and Hutz filmed the video in front of the One Hundred and Seventh Infantry Memorial near Central Park in New York City. Watch it here. The video is by Ehud Lazin.

“Universe knows Jesse and I bonded over Pogues years ago,” says Hutz, “and it’s only natural that we sing this anti-colonial song for Ukraine now. This land was always ours! And no amount of Moscow propaganda can undo оver а thousand уеаrs of history. It is also a natural fit once again, since scientists uncovered that Irish people come from Modern Day Ukraine territory! And guess where I read that? In the Irish Independent.”

Jesse Malin is on tour now with Brian Fallon in Europe, and will be headlining the US in June. Dates can be found here.
