SPIEGELTENT NY 2007
"When a show starts at half past midnight and lasts two hours that only feel like one, that can only mean good things. The encore was amazing when Alex, the aerial acrobatic high-flying beauty, teased the crowd with her mid-air moves. How many shows have you been to where everyone has to make room in the middle of a "tent" for the lovely lady to climb up the cloths and strut her seductive acrobatics? I guess Devotchka sets me up for lots of "firsts." By Brit Horvat Tripwire NYC
During their encore, a dancer from one of the circus acts joined the band. Dressed in a sequin-studded leotard, she sparkled overhead as she climbed and plunged from the ceiling at the center of the tent. Her tiny frame showed great strength while hauling herself around, another contrast in a night full of them. All the while, DeVotchka matched her moves, setting a steady pace as she posed and manipulated the ropes, building the tension with a drum and guitar frenzy as she set herself up, feet entwined in rope, until she plunged head first to within feet of the ground. And with that they were gone.
