Girl talk

DeVotchKa make me think of Peterborough's Silver Hearts, but with less drinking and fewer members. Both bands have Sousaphone and Theremin. While the Silver Hearts have a carnival, revival tent feel, DeVotchKa call themselves gypsy cabaret and started their existence accompanying burlesque acts and touring with corset queen Dita Von Teese.

Jeanie Schroeder handles the low end, starting with some double bass.



Nick Urata sings.



Shadowy accordion player Tom Hagerman.



Some songs need two microphones.



Squeezing and singing action!



Schroeder toots mightily.



Theremin action!



Shawn King taps.



Tom switches to violin!



Under the shadow of the Sousaphone.



Bouzouki action!



I headed off to see King Sunny Ade as they were beginning their Velvet Underground cover.

• Show reminder: Young Galaxy, Treasure Hunt and Orienteers play Zaphod Beeblebrox.
