Devotchka- adds tour dates

When you think of ecclectic Eastern European sounds, a band hailing from Denver, Colorado might not fit the profile. The Denver 4 piece manages to fuse a myriad of styles together, while still keeping their Americana folk roots to produce their unique sound. The band most recently released their new LP, A Mad and Faithful Telling, which has had them on tour for the majority of the year. The band have added a handful of shows at the end of December and January, which includes a New Years Eve show in Seattle and appearances in Philly and NYC.
The group first garnered attention back in '06 when they scored the soundtrack to the unexpected break-out success, Little Miss Sunshine .

Devotchka on Conan O'Brien

Think you haven't heard of Devotchka before??? Well you probably have. If you've seen the movie Little Miss Sunshine then you've heard the band in action, as the movie helped put the band on the map. The group hail from Denver but sound as if their from a hilltop in Serbia somewhere, with their Eastern European, multi instrumental ecclectic sounds. Devotchka brought those sounds to the Conan O'Brien show last week with a performance of "The Clockwise Witness" off of their newest release A Mad And Faithful Telling .


Devotchka- "The Clockwise Witness":

Devotchka- Globetrotting into your living room

Devotchka is one of those bands that you've probably actually heard without knowing it. The band reached broader audiences when being featured on the supposed indie film "Little Miss Sunshine", which then proceeded to reach box office and critical success alike.
Have you ever wanted to take that month long vacation and just travel the globe??? But couldn't afford it or didn't have the time? .... well Devotchka is back with a new album "A Mad and Faithful Telling", and that trip has arrived on your doorstep. It's not often that you hear these labels ...world music,eastern european folk,american roots and punk in the same review, and nevermind associated with Denver Colorado, where the band is based. Devotchka's four members which sound like a full orchestra at times, enlist a violin, a sousaphone, accordian, and trumpet, somehow making the ecclectic mix work. Listening to " A Mad and Faithful Telling" you'll feel your walking on a hillside in Serbia one minute and the next driving on route 66 across the states. The album is rich with diverse sounds, from the rocking "Transliterator", to the folk croon of "Along the Way" filled with some mariachi trumpet. Some other highlights on the album are "The Clockwise Witness" and the closing track "A New World" which seems fitting if giving them a listen for the first time.
The band is known for it's dynamic live performances and are heading out on a tour across Europe thru most of April, and will be hitting the States from late april through May so far.
You can give a listen to the full album " A Mad and Faithful Telling" out on Anti records for a limited time on the bands myspace page.
