DeVotchKa: Must See

I randomly ended up seeing DeVotchKa at The Independent last Friday-- one of the most amazing shows I've seen in a while. I was so infatuated with them that I ended up getting all three of their CDs and have had them on repeat in iTunes, pretty much continuously, for the past four days. How it ends is my favorite of the three albums, and the professional music hack community seems to agree.

They're an eclectic mix of folk and modern rock that I find very appealing. Plus, the lead singer looks like Jeremy Piven and Colin Farrell's love child (but sings like Sting and Chris Isaak's love child). Maybe it was just the beers talking, though.
