Devotchka

On paper, Devotchka sound like a horrible idea: Eastern European gypsy meets mariachi band meets violinist meets spaghetti western; I can't stop recommending the band to everyone I know, after having fallen in love with How It Ends a few months ago. Live, the band swings and sways, sensuous and unsettlingly familiar. I could have danced to Devotchka and the soaring vocals of singer Nick Urata all night long.
