Transylvanian Polka?

Gypsy punk? Klezmer rock? Transylvanian pop? Latin polka? It's a huge challenge to accurately describe the music of DeVotchKa, [2] one of Denver and Boulder's musical treasures. The band has won numerous awards, from the prestigious "Best Unsigned Band" from CMJ magazine, [3] to "Best Avant-Garde Band" from the 2004 Westword Music Awards. They absolutely have to been seen live for proper appreciation, and tonight they'll be at the Larimer Lounge with another buzz-worthy local band, Matson Jones. If you miss them tonight, you'll have another chance next week; DeVotchKa plays at the Mercury Cafe on New Year's Eve.
