nice stuff about SAIU DROM, Dylans' mom has collected - many
Playing there trademark "poetic pirate gypsy folkin rock" they packed the circus cafe venue 300 plus and mesmerized the crowd for 2 and half hours with there acoustic gypsy guitars, roaring vocals, and wild assortment of performers not one person in the room wasnt dancing and singing along. - Saratogian
absolutely original and refreshing. Sai u drom is like an isreali cluster bomb of poetry in a roller coaster of very original acoustic gypsy punk folk. Blending folk with eastern european gypsy with hip hop and the emotion of punk one of the best bands out there right now. - NYcap
