DeVotchKa Live at Chalk

If you have been looking for something a bit different to add to your calendar this autumn, the Denver-based band DeVotchKa is heading to Brighton on Saturday, 10 October 2026. They are scheduled to play at Chalk, located at 10 Pool Valley, which is a fairly central spot in the city. It is worth noting that the venue is indoors, so the weather won't be a factor for the evening. Doors are set to open at 18:00, and given the location, taking public transport is usually the most straightforward way to get there.

For those unfamiliar with their sound, the band is known for blending indie rock, folk, and punk with a more cinematic feel. The lineup features Nick Urata on vocals, guitars, piano, trumpet, and theremin; Tom Hagerman on violin, accordion, and piano; Jeanie Schroder on acoustic bass, sousaphone, and vocals; and Shawn King on drums, percussion, and trumpet. You might recognise their work from various film soundtracks, including Little Miss Sunshine, Crazy Stupid Love, and Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. This specific show is billed as 'A celebration of the music of Little Miss Sunshine', which gives a clear indication of what to expect from their setlist.

Regarding the logistics, tickets are priced at approximately £30.93. This figure breaks down to a base price of £27.50 plus the standard booking fees. If you are planning to attend, keep in mind that the event has an age restriction of 14 and over. It is always a good idea to double-check the specific entry requirements on the venue's site before you finalise your plans, just to be safe. It is a straightforward setup for a Saturday night, offering a chance to see a band with a distinct instrumental style in a venue that is well-integrated into the local scene.
