Anyone else love them?
If you don't know them, check them out. They've got a couple pf tracks on the Little Miss Sunshine soundtrack, and they're amazing. Quote: |
DeVotchKa is a four piece multi-instrumental and vocal ensemble that fuses Romani, Greek, Slavic, Bolero, Mariachi (and many more styles) music with American punk and folk roots. They take their name from Anthony Burgess' Nadsat word for "young girl," which is itself derived from the Russian word (девочка) of the same meaning. Based in Denver, Colorado, the quartet is made up of Nick Urata, who sings and plays theremin, guitar, bouzouki, piano, and trumpet; Tom Hagerman, who plays violin, accordion, and piano; Jeanie Schroder, who sings and plays sousaphone and double bass; and Shawn King, who plays percussion and trumpet.

Everyone I've asked doesn't know them, but they've really liked what they've heard when I recommended 'em, so I figured I'd stick a thread up.
Bloody amazing live, too.

I was hoping they would sound more like Man Man.
I didn't like it to much. | |

Saw them at the Cathouse a while back. Wasn’t that impressed.

I've loved them, the twice I saw them.
First time I saw them they jumped into the crowd to play a song, which was pretty ace.

You should look out for Orkestra Del Sol. Much better, sillier, and (mostly) from Glasgow.
