Shows Coming Next Week

DeVotchKa with Basia Bulat - May 17, 9pm

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. DeVotchKa will be at the Fillmore @ the TLA on Saturday, May 17th to amaze you.

Bandemonium feat. Menudo with NLT, V-Factory, and Glowb - May 18, 7pm

The 1970's pop group Menudo is famous for launching the career of the wildly successful Ricky Martin, now they're back with a new generation. Menudo revolutionized pop music, spawning the beginnings of bands like New Edition and New Kids on the Block. The new Menudo's lineup came from the hit reality show on MTV, "Making Menudo," where 15 young Latinos were chosen through a nationwide search and put through "boy band boot camp." Emerging victorious from the competition were the ultra-talented Carlos, Jose, Monti, Emmanuel and Chris. These boys will be melting girls hearts and making hips shake at the Fillmore @ the TLA on Sunday, May 18th.
