Presently recording new album

About Me

Hello... my name is Devin.
Back in the middle of '05, I self-released an album called "Lonely People of the World, Unite!" I worked on it for a very long time, recording most of it by myself at home. It got positively reviewed in many publications, including Entertainment Weekly. Then I started a band and we went on tour.
We shared the stage with Death Cab For Cutie, Tilly & The Wall, Rogue Wave, Tobin Sprout, Beirut, Margot & Her Nuclear So and So's, Langhorne Slim, Death Vessel, and Adam Green to name a few) and performed live on KEXP on three occasions. I also toured by myself, with the help of an inflatable mattress (most recently with Tilly & The Wall). Right now I am working on a new album in various studios in Chicago. I have been taking time off from playing shows for a while to work on recording, BUT AM PLANNING SOME SHOWS THIS SUMMER TO PREVIEW SONGS FROM THE NEW ALBUM... PLEASE STAY TUNED.
"Lonely People of the World, Unite!" is available on my website (www.devindaviswebsite.com). I do not send out unsolicited myspace friend requests, but I try as diligently as possible to answer messages.
best regards - Devin
