Last night, Harrison and I were at the Orange Peel in Asheville to see one of our favorite bands, DEVOTCHKA. The opener, Kopecky Family Band was also really good. Here’s a photo from the concert and a link to their music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb-i3a_TMxg 
I can’t say enough good things about DeVotchKa. The description of DeVotchKa, per Wikipedia, reads “a four-piece multi-instrumental and vocal ensemble that fuses Romani, Greek, Slavic, Bolero, Mariachi music with American punk and folk roots.” They’re gypsy punk/indie folk. The lead singer, Nick Urata, plays theremin, guitar, bouzouki, piano, and trumpet; Tom Hagerman, plays violin, accordion, and piano; Jeanie Schroder, sings and plays sousaphone and double bass; and Shawn King, plays percussion and trumpet. They played almost all of our favorites and really got the crowd going. They infused the performace with two lovely aerialists that hung from cloth ropes in the ceiling and did all sorts of skillful acrobatics. I can’t wait to see them in concert again!
