This would be the show of the year for yours truly.
Denver's DeVotchKa is a Romani-influenced indie band that have the most colorful and memorable sound. NPR describes the band's show perhaps best, stating on "All Songs Considered" that “it was an absolutely enchanting performance, the kind that leaves you feeling pretty good about the world.”
And David Byrne is David fucking Byrne.
This tour sounds like an ideal combination; oodles of energy and creativity from both acts.
Tickets are a little too pricey, so go for me and take pictures.
