Devics' first show in the States after spending a year back in their adopted home country of Italy was in Costa Mesa, a town they had never played before, so of course we had to be there. Not only that, but our current favorite band of the millenium, Sea Wolf, opened.
Sea Wolf sounded great even with the technical problems, but we're so biased that they could probably just take a nap onstage for 45 minutes and we'd still be declaring Alex Church a musical genius. "Middle Distance Runner" is almost too lovely for words... And Devics, who we haven't really seen a full set from since the Fais Do Do residency days in the late 90s sounded as beautifully somber as ever. Can "Song for a Sleeping Girl" be any more perfect?
The Wolf finally finished putting together their long-awaited EP and continue their mini-tour with Devics who also recently released their new album Push the Heart. Buy these records. In numerous quantites.
