Last week I posted the new ad for the video game Gears of War 2 that features DeVothka's song "How It Ends". Apparently there has been a huge demand for the song that the band decided to give it a full single release this coming Monday (12.22). Watch the video for "How It Ends" above & then you go here to watch the Gears of War 2 ad."How It Ends" | download DeVotchka | Myspace | Tour Dates |...

Good Vs. Evil. The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly. Beauty And The Beast. Any and all of these concepts seem quite fitting when hearing that DeVotchka was the band chosen to have its song "How It Ends" featured in the new Gears Of War 2 commercial for XBox 360. The commercial premiered last month during the Sunday Night football game between the New England Patriots & the Indianapolis Colts & will ...

The website of Les Ardentes says it provides the 'cream of DJs.' If the heat on the dance floor at 3 am is any indication, it ain't lying. Les Ardentes is an electronic music festival held in Liege, Belgium- near the Dutch border. Unlike Glastonbury or Roskilde, most of you probably haven't heard of Liege- just as most people in Liege haven't heard of Les Ardentes. This doesn't mean Les Ardente...

Devotchka played Webster Hall on January 24. Probably best known for their song in Little Miss Sunshine, "Til the End of Time," the band incorporates different aspects of Eastern European music, with inspirations that include folk and punk. It's hard to avoid comparisons to the gypsy punks of Gogol Bordello, but while they share many [...]

In learning a little bit about DeVotchKa before going to this show, I came across their long list of instruments (some which I had to look up because I was unfamiliar), and the fact that they used to be a backing band for burlesque shows. Most notably for me, they used to tour with [...]

A band that previously had a song played in a trailer for one of my favourite movies and once shot down a McDonalds' commercial song request, how could I not write about their last album?! So here's A Mad & Faithful Telling by Devotchka.

4:37 mins. There's something cool and engaging about the sounds Denver,Colorado's DeVotchKa make by taking such non-Western musical styles as Mariachi, Slavi, Romani, Greek, and Bolero and blending them with punk, rock and folk. I'm not even able to put my finger on exactly what makes them so enjoyable to me. Could it be the catchy pop-song structures? Or is it the English-language lyrics that ...

Tim Burton's cult stop-motion film turns 15 this year, and as previously reported a motley crew of indie and goth-pop acts have recorded covers for an updated soundtrack called Nightmare Revisited . It's fun to hear Polyphonic Spree and Album Leaf interpret Danny Elfman, even if you risk hearing Korn's contribution, too (always with the terrible covers , those guys). Check out our faves after t...
