2006 was the year of DeVotchKa. From touring the country in an overstuffed van, the four piece multi-instrumental outfit, whose music fuses Gypsy, Greek, Slavic, and Mariachi influences with American punk and folk roots, leaped to headlining the Bonnaroo music festival. Soon after, directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris chose DeVotchKa to score Little Miss Sunshine, the breakout indie film of the year, garnering four Academy Award nominations, and earning DeVotchKa a Grammy nod for Best Soundtrack, With a stage set-up fortified by sousaphone, accordion, piano, violin, a bouzouki, an upright bass, percussion, trumpet, drums and a Theremin, DeVotchKa have won a fanatical live following, touring alongside similar maverick acts such as Calexico and Flogging Molly. Now with their ANTI- debut, A Mad and Faithful Telling, 2008, too, will be the year of Devotchka.
