If you missed our live webcast of the DeVotchKa concert this past friday, you should definitely check it out in our live concert archives. It as an absolutely enchanting performance, the kind that leaves you feeling pretty good about the world.
Our illustrator, Ariel Kitch was there (click the image to launch the slideshow):
I love this band so much! This is a wonderful concert to have in the archive.
Not interested at all. Given the coverage and high marks, I was hoping for more but just like a few years ago when every new band sounded like Gang of Four, it seems like the new, hot bands (DeVotchKa, Vampire Weekend, etc.) sound like the Talking Heads. But I already have their albums, and they're much better.
beautiful! ahh, flower petals. ariel's work would make such a lovely calendar.
