Anyone like Devotchka?

My daughter listens to all kinds of music. And I have to admit that Devotchka has grown on me. Not at all what I usually listen to, but it is really good!
I think I am in love with the song How It Ends.

    How It Ends, is of course, amazing... it was played all through-out Little Miss Sunshine, but in different sects... it's also now on like a Gerber commercial or some shit, but the song is so good. That whole album is really good, and their newer album is amazing as well. Their older stuff is more like polka-rockish sort of stuff, but it's a lot of fun. The band is just awesome.
    If I could, think I would give in.

    Their singer has such a wonderful voice.
    I am really enjoying what my daughter has added to Itunes. I had to confess to her that I really like them and listen when she isn't at home.

    I like them a decent bit. I'm 3 degrees of Kevin Bacon from them.

    I like them a good bit... I first caught them from their name, when I saw the name it piqued my interest because it comes from A Clockwork Orange (I'm a huge fan of the novel... the movie, meh, good not great)... Anyway, Their name "DeVotchKa" means "young girl" or "young women" in the fictitious language from the novel (Nadsat) and then of course they were featured in Little Miss Sunshine shortly after I discovered them...

    Also, some of their more upbeat tunes remind me of Gogol Bordello, so if you like DeVotchKa I would recommend them as well.

    My daughter saw them and said it was just about the best live show she has seen. She loved the acrobat woman.

    Glad to see others like them.

    I love their warm and rich sound. It puts me in a good place. :)
