		But while DeVotchKa were backing showgirls like Dita Von Teese and Catherine D'Lish two years ago, bandleader Nick Urata had bigger things in mind.
		DeVotchKa's blend of gypsy instrumentation (accordion, bouzouki, violin), mariachi horns, and flamenco guitar is perfectly suited for burlesque's vintage spectacle, but the Denver band exude theatricality all on their own.
		DeVotchKa's two albums, 2000's Supermelodrama and last year's Una Volta (both on Cicero Recordings), swell in lush, filmic sepia tones, spiked with dervishlike campfire rave-ups, softly strummed ballads, and punk-infused anguish.

	Montreal Mirror : Music : Devotchka
		Devotchka is a quartet, with Urata on vocals, theremin, guitars, piano and trumpet, Tom Hagerman on violin, accordion and piano, Jeanie Schroder on sousaphone, upright bass and vocals and Shawn King on drums and trumpet.
		Devotchka's "Eastern bloc indie rock" is working, however, a result of the independent band's tireless touring and showcasing.
		If Devotchka had to choose one "old country," it would be Putin country - their moniker means "young girl" in Russian.

	CD Baby: DEVOTCHKA: Una Volta
		Devotchka truly has a way of manifesting the woes and wiles of humanity...
		DeVotchKa has been a band to watch for some time now, but with Una Volta they truly have hit a musical pinnacle...
		DeVotchKa counteracts such reckless conduct by issuing consistently beguiling sonic tapestries that weave together all the colorful threads of Eastern European music, American folk, postmodern jazz, classical and mariachi.

		Local band DeVotchKa takes its name from the famous and controversial Anthony Burgess novel and Stanley Kubrick film A Clockwork Orange–a story that confronts, in gloriously vivid and violent colors, the complicated intricacies of social morality through a series of contradictions.
		DeVotchKa singer and multi-instrumentalist (mostly guitar) Nick Urata is somewhat vague about the relation of the film to the band, but perhaps it is this open-endedness–the allowing for the unexpected, the embracing of all possibilities, yes, perhaps even the contradictory–that makes the ultimate connection between band and film.
		Showcasing the theremin, bouzouki, bowed vibes, vibraphone, glockenspiel and tenor triangle, DeVotchKa could be thought of as the Island of Misfit Instruments.
