a spoonful of slavic folk with a dash of punk rock

I stumbled upon the musical stylings of DeVotchKa this morning and had to share.  I know, I know, I'm sure you've heard of them, but I get so giggled up over the stuff that's a new find to me that I have to write about it.  so... their music.  it's like this big hodgepodge smoothie of russia-meets-greece-meets-indie/folk-meets-punk.   how could you not want to check out a multi-instrumental band with a dude playing the theremin?  the theremin, man!  this unique band is finally getting more buzz, thanks to their appearance at Bonnaroo and more notably, their Grammy nomination for the Little Miss Sunshine score.  baller.

if you haven't heard of this band already, check them out: they're playing tonight at 8 at La Zona Rosa.
