Feb. 14th, 2009 09:20 amI saw DeVotchKa in concert for the first time last night! I've heard a lot about their live performances, so I had some pretty high expectations. They did not let me down!
It included some amazing light shows, a classic string ensemble, and the thing that makes DeVotchKa the most unique band I've ever heard - a theremin. Of course, it would not have been complete without their trademark stunt of hiring Burlesque dancers for the show, and their grand finale featured two such women doing amazing tricks on giant scarves suspended from the ceiling.
It was a fantastic show, and one of the most unique concert-going experiences I've ever had.
Also, they had an indie band play the opening called Quixotic. They were really cool too - their music was sort of new age, sort of marching band, sort of gypsy. They also featured some wild light shows and a group of ballet/belly dancers. I dunno if I'd listen to them on a regular basis, but the performance certainly was awesome.
