DEVOTCHKA

Here are the instruments you’ll see onstage during a DeVotchKa show: Theramin, Sousaphone, bouzouki, accordion, violin, piano, double bass, trumpet and percussion. Oh, and guitar. They’re used to create what has been described variously as gypsy-punk, opera via norteño, Vaudeville meets Sergio Leone and the ghost of Boris Karloff … and folk. The Colorado-based quartet, which gained wider renown after doing the soundtrack to the film Little Miss Sunshine, has been touring behind its 2008 release, A Mad and Faithful Telling. The band’s name, incidentally, came from author Anthony Burgess’ word for “young girl” in Nadsat, the Russian-based language his teenage droogs spoke in A Clockwork Orange.
