New DeVotchKa album - listen first

jimed14

Always been a fan of these guys ... instrumentation, vocals, passion ... it's music that moves you.

Read: music to woo women ...

New album out in a few weeks, NPR has it free for listening. I'm loving it, not as much as "How It Ends" (which was all over the Little Miss Sunshine sountrack) but still ... just gorgeous.

Two shows coming up here in SF next month, going to both and cannot wait. Their live performances are stunning.

thanks for posting this

after listening to "How It Ends" I put DeVotchKa on my list of bands to listen to, never got round to them - PJ kind of maybe got in the way

Love it, listening to The Alley
It's beautiful, I will definitely be listening to their stuff now

Thanks

Nice to see another PJ fan go way outside the box with their musical taste.

... and yeah, if you haven't picked up the album "How It Ends" ... it's a must.

This one's my fave ... feels like everyone should grab a pint (or some sangria) and do a toast ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqPByltWSbc

And hey, they can rock as well ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7TYM7-uKfE

Then there's the title track .... again, just moving ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pfi1UQ_PKQI

I just learned of this band about 2 weeks ago and I've been hooked since. They've really got some great music.

I'll be playing a song of theirs on my radio show tonight. :thumbup:

Really? Where at, do you know?

EDIT: N/m, looks like they'll be in SLC on Mar. 1st. :thumbup:

Nice. I'll still be recovering from foot surgery, but maybe I'll purchase a balcony seat or something.

Did you roundhouse someone again? I told you that was a bad idea, Mr. Norris.

I want to go, but I'm wondering if I'll even get to see DeVotchKa. It's on a Tuesday (same night as my show) and I'm wondering how much of them I'll see before I have to leave in order to be to the station by 10:30... :?

Better late than never, you probably weren't on the Dio bandwagon from jump either ...
