When i get my own TV show, i'm gonna get DeVotchKa to score the theme for me. They already did it for '"Little Miss Sunshine" so a TV show should be a piece of cake. Originally the backing band for Dita Von Teese's burlesque show, so i doubt there's anything i could suggest would faze them.
It's kind of hard to place DeVotchKa, physically they are from Denver, but musically they are in equal parts Romani, Greek, Slavic, Bolero, Mariachi and Punk. In a folk style. And i didn't even guess at that, Wikipedia says that, i say any band that plays guitar, bouzouki, piano, trumpet, violin, drums, accordion, sousaphone and double bass is gonna be hard to pigeon hole.
Shouldn't oughta work.
But is so does. They have put out 4 albums so far, "Enemy Guns" is taken from the bands' 3rd album "How It Ends".
If ever there was a song that sounded like it was spoiling for a fight it's this one. No wailing ringing notes here, the opening guitar is a choppy, staccato, angry sounding thing, add a driving drum beat, then the violins and another bit of menace.
Then there's the whistling, ohh the whistling, ah to hell with it, if i'm gonna be jumping slow-motion through a window into a room full of baddies, pistol in each hand, wasting motherfuckers before dusting myself off and making some pithy comment, i want "Enemy Guns" to be playing while i do it.
Watch yourself Vin Diesel, i've already got me a theme.

So if I hear this one at work, and you've had a bad day, I should get out of the firing line, right?
ReplyDeleteIf you can get all the baddies in one room, yeah.
