Devothcka
basia bulatSoooooooooooooo.... Last week I had the opportunity to check out Devotchka and Basia Bulat @ Terminal Five in west midtown. Needless to say they were both AWESOME! Basia Bulat is a sexy little firecracker of a blues singer. Check her out at www.basiabulat.com. Her ensemble was energetic and tight, and her songwriting is heart wrenching in a manner similar to Tracy Chapman. And for a little blonde Canadian girl to sound like Chapman is a huge feat. Devotchka was just good old fashion gypsy funk, meets Mariachi. For those of you who know about Rob Reich in SF, you will love these guys. They would fit in very well @ Amnesia on a weeknight in the mission, or side by side Gorgol Bordello on the stage. You can check them out @ www.devotchka.net Each of these bands also has a myspace page if you want to know more. Good stuff. Later skaters.
