8/16/2006 DeVotchKa @ Neumo'sFor some reason, I went into the DeVotchKa show not knowing if their music would translate well into a live show. I shouldn't have given it a second's thought. They were confident, stylish, and sly, yet all the time wearing their hearts on their sleeves. It's hard to resist the charms of their darkly joyful Mexican polka sound. If that seems like a contradictory description I guess DeVotchKa just creates a delightfully contradictory response in me. The sold-out crowd was clearly made up of devoted and appreciative fans. Nice touch - the tuba player's tuba was covered in red Christmas lights. Very festive.
However, that appreciative sold-out crowd was a bit overwhelming. The music is romantic at times, sure, but did the couple next to us have to hump each other constantly? My arm got a bit chafed from all their writhing. For a while, I was sure she was going to start fellating him at any moment, which thankfully didn't happen. And theCultFigure nearly lost it because people just kept touching him. As soon as the last gleeful notes of "Such a Lovely Thing" ended, he declared he couldn't take it anymore so we left.
