I Can’t Stop Listening To: DeVotchka
The first song I heard from this band was on one of the Live albums from MPR’s The Current. The song was “Queen of the Surface Streets” and I loved it. Later I picked up their album “How It Ends” and I haven’t looked back. These guys are really amazing. There are four people in the band from Denver, Colorado. I really like the lead singer’s voice along with the folky sound that they have. This is one group that would probably be on my top 5 bands to see live, they are very talanted and have a great sound. And for those wondering where the name came from, it’s from A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. It’s the Nadsat word for “little girl.” Check them out. Peace.

‘Cause when the lids come down, you’re all I see
You’re like a lovely hallucination
You get me through my current occupation”
