DeVotchKa played a big part in the soundtrack for the movie little miss sunshine . They are a four piece multi-instrumental and vocal ensemble that fuses romani,greek,slavic,bolero and mariachi music with American punk and folk roots. They take their name from a english slang( nadsat) for 'young girl' which is derived from the russian word. In their early years, DeVotchKa toured with fetish model Dita von Teese ( recently collaborated and modelled for mac cosmetics ). How cool is that! [...]
you know the deal. when a band plays with handclaps and triangles to go with a melodic voice,it sounds really really happy. music which has tambourines,shakers and handclaps..always appeals to me. that is exactly what the crayon fields sound like. a bloody happy band. they are classified as childrens music on itunes. hah. they really seem to take everything good about being a child into their music. you know where hope used to be a good thing and being happy was all that mattered...not childish,but they seem to sing in [...]
sometimes it comes without words. sometimes it goes without saying. i do not know of anyone who has heard some kindofchill and not like it. but dont put your finger down and label arizona just because you heard that gem of a song. songs like splintering and away are quite different and showcase their eclectic sound. these songs are from their album called welcome back dear children . if [...]

you have witnessed the wit he will blow you away soon enough. now here comes the perfectly ordinary talk on how we operate. we do alot of music here but music is never just about the music ask michel gondry and spike jonze and they totally get it. theres the photography and the film and the art all involved just to make music more than it is and vice versa. so we can never just talk about the music. let all of them work together and make love while listening to death from above.
