DeVotchKa is a four piece multi-instrumental and vocal ensemble that fuses Romani, Greek, Slavic, Bolero, and Mariachi music with American punk and folk roots. Pretty interesting huh? Pretty great too. Last year, Rolling Stone called DeVotchKa "The Best Little Grammy-Nominated Band You've Never Heard Of" If you've seen Little Miss Sunshine, then you've heard DeVotchKa. The band has 10 of the 14 tracks on the soundtrack. Rolling Stone describes DeVotchKa's music as "Lovely, immaculately crafted stuff that draws on Urata’s big, beautiful croon and the band’s delicate instrumental touches." And their live shows? Well they've been described as transcendent, energetic and organic, emotional and original. They're a band that commands attention with their breathtaking music.NPR says, "DeVotchKa's sad and lovely sound is a surprisingly potent potpourri of cabaret, spaghetti Western, and Eastern European Gypsy songs. From Russia to South American to Mexico and back again, DeVotchKa enhances its heady sonic cocktail with instruments not usually heard on the indie-rock circuit: a melancholy accordion, earthy guitars, and the soothing but sorrowful oomph of a tuba, all playing melodies fit to score tragic romantic fantasies" DeVotchKa will be at the TLA on Saturday, May 17th to amaze you along with Basia Bulat .
