In a serendipitous moment on “Morning Becomes Eclectic,” the radio station KCRW in Santa Monica changed the trajectory of both indie cinema and one of Denver's most distinctive musical voices. When filmmakers Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris heard DeVotchKa's evocative sound drifting through the airwaves, they knew they'd found the emotional heartbeat for their film “Little Miss Sunshine.”

That instinct proved prophetic. DeVotchKa's soundtrack and score for the 2006 film became inseparable from its story. The bittersweet orchestration to the Hoover family's cross-country journey, captured the themes of hope, resilience, and beautifully imperfect dreams. The band's signature sound gave the film its unmistakable soul, turning moments like young Olive's final dance into cultural touchstones.

The work earned DeVotchKa a Grammy nomination for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album and the film won two Oscars. Introducing the world to the band's cinematic, lush orchestral sound, songs like "Til the End of Time" and "How It Ends" transcended the screen to become anthems.

Now, two decades later, DeVotchKa will be celebrating this landmark collaboration with a special 20th anniversary tour, “A Tribute to the Music of Little Miss Sunshine.” The performance honors not just the music that helped define a generation of independent film, but the unlikely journey that began with a radio station, a perfect song at the perfect moment, and a story about never giving up on what makes you different.

Join DeVotchKa as they revisit the soundtrack and score that launched them into the cultural conversation – a reminder that sometimes the most beautiful twists of fate create the most lasting art.

Pink Breath of Heaven is a reverie of shimmering guitars, haunting melodies, and introspective lyricism. The project of Liv Field and Rex John Shelverton, the two share a strong commitment to the feeling of a song, where it takes you, and the delicate art of using music and songwriting to create a living atmosphere.

Following the release of their first single, “Blue Is the Morning,” the band quickly began to draw wider attention, leading to their addition to Little Cloud Records ahead of their debut album.

Over the following year, Pink Breath of Heaven continued shaping a sound that is distinctly their own, immersive and transportive, pulling the listener into the moment and somewhere beyond it.

With performances alongside The Dandy Warhols, LSD and the Search for God, Alison’s Halo, Ty Segall, and The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Pink Breath of Heaven has become a compelling force within San Francisco’s underground.

In late 2025, shortly after the release of their debut album Colors Make a Sound, the band signed with Westward, an independent LA-based label with distribution through Warner ADA, establishing momentum for the next wave of releases.
