I added an info box and a member list. Maybe we could get a picture for the box?
I also plan to add articles for all of the albums in the future.
-Adverse Entropy
Does anyone know where Devotchka got their name?
The title comes from A Clockwork Orange - a line about "a little in-out with a young Devotchka"
I've cross-linked DeVotchKa and The Devotchkas via italicized notes at the top of their pages in order to avoid confusion. I don't know the correct format for things like that, so if it looks wrong, please change it to how it's supposed to be.
Is "Triple X Tango" a real Devotchka album? It's not listed anywhere in their discography, either on their official web page or on allmusic.com.
Triple X Tango was a limited release live album that is available nowhere. I've never seen anything other than a burned copy of it, but it is where the original recording of their "Venus in Furs" cover was released. They re-released that song on Curse Your Little Heart. The band seems to be content with letting that album fall into obscurity, although I think the die-hards are all well aware of it.
[edit] MySpace
The WP:EL guideline lists MySpace as what to normally avoid, and notes that "the below do not override the list of what should be linked to" (in What should be linked to, #2 reads: "Articles about any organization, person, web site, or other entity should link to the official site if there is one"). There is no reasonable doubt that the MySpace is official; it is linked from the official website, which we have no reason to believe is not actually official either.

So are you saying to keep it or remove it? I would say keep it, since it provides a sanctioned way of listening to the band, which is certainly going to be of interest to many people reading the page. !jim 08:58, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
I, for one, don't think the MySpace link belongs in the article. I don't think it's necessary given that there is already a link for the "official" web site and there's a link to the MySpace page from the official web site. -- Ben (talk) 16:19, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Genre
Its currently listed as "rock". Could somebody expand it? Tommy Stardust 15:20, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
There entire wiki needs to be expanded, Im surprised this band doesnt get the same exposure as Arcade Fire or Beirut —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22justin (talk • contribs) 08:13, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Their appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien
I'm not sure whether their appearance on the show should be mentioned in the article, however their performance confused me after looking at this article. In their performance, they had a string quartet consisting of, if I saw correctly, two violins, a viola, and a cello. Additionally they had a drummer on a standard kit, one more person on IIRC bass guitar, and the main singer with an acoustic guitar. I'm not at all familiar with the band as this was my first exposure to them (one I did like, I might add). Maybe someone with a bit more exposure to the band could shed some light on this, which would probably be best noted in the article. --Snaxe/fow (talk) 07:47, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
