A G Y P S Y R O C K B A L L E T
The Plaid Tongued Devils are an established independent Canadian recording act. They tour across Canada promoting their albums through live performances, interviews, and television/radio appearances.
Currently, with album sales of over 10,000 units in Canada,
The Plaid Tongued Devils are quickly establishing a large following for their infectious, danceable “Eastern European/Klezmer/Ska/Pop” sound.
The live performance is a showcase of musical virtuosity performed
with high energy and a good dose of fun.
Thier third full length CD, In Klezskavania, explores the connections between many Eastern European/Middle Eastern styles and modern pop music (and a little ska). The CD is also the score to a very successful rock opera produced by the Devils in collaboration with Calgary’s One Yellow Rabbit Theatre Company. With the story conception by Semaka, and co-writing expertise from the OYR ensemble, In Klezskavania, the theatre production, ran Feb. 24 - Mar. 21, 1998 at The Big Secret Theatre in the Centre for the Performing Arts, Calgary. Over 6000 people saw the play which received rave reviews in the media. It was sold out almost every night!
The Calgary Sun's Lisa Wilton put In Klezskavania in her Top 5 picks for 1998!
