PICK OF THE WEEK: DeVtochKa and Yard Dogs Road Show – Saturday, October 27th – The Fillmore Auditorium, Denver, CO

Why You Should Go: When first exposed to their startlingly original sound, it is difficult to believe that DeVotchKa hails from right here in Denver and was formed a mere 10 years ago. Their Eastern European sound and the emotional crooning of lead singer Nick Urata could be the soundtrack to an Eastern Block nightmare, circa 1950. Perhaps they are musicians born in the wrong era or, more likely, they are trying to bring a neglected and largely untapped genre into the public eye.

With roots in burlesque theater, DeVotchKa often pairs their unique sound with surreal visual elements in their stage performances. During the bands Halloween show the Slavic Sisters will be performing aerial stunts high above the audience and as if that isn’t enough, the band is pulling out all the stops and has invited The Yard Dogs Road Show to join them as well. The Yard Dogs are an amazing act who have developed their show into a dark carnival side show that transports the audience to a different reality much like a great circus should.

Finally to top it all off DeVotchKa has ensured that the night will be as close as possible to a real gala event. When people walk into the show they are going to be treated like they are going to a formal dance. Don’t miss it!
