Devin was honored to perform with the legendary Gay-Gays, the all-gay male Go-Go's celebration at the Eagle LA on Sunday.  The band was paying tribute to the 30th anniversary of the seminal album "Beauty and the Beat" by performing the entire album in order.  Devin joined the band for the encore, consisting of the hits "Head Over Heels" and "Vacation."  Devin previously performed "Head Over Heels" with the band many years ago at what had been billed as it's farewell concert at the Key Club in West Hollywood.

Trip Set List 4/23/12

Devin, Liana, Myles and Brandon performed their final "Cabaret Pop" set at Trip in Santa Monica on Monday, April 23.  The set list was:

1. Roam
2. Alien Nation
3. Tape
4. Strange Season
5. Why
6. Digital Representation
7. Wannabe
8. Winnipeg Beach
9. Quickie

The band will now be working up a new, electronics-enhanced set that will include some brand new songs from the forthcoming second Devin Tait album, new covers, and a few old favorites.  In addition, watch for the live premiere of Turbo Sunshine, a new band comprised of Brandon on lead vocals, guitars, and programming, Devin on synths and vocals, and Dolly Dagger on drums and vocals.

Shows cancelled

Unfortunately, both shows in May have been cancelled by the promoter, as they are no longer working with the venues El Cid or Falcon. The band may try to schedule another show in May to make up for it. However, Turbo Sunshine, the project fronted by Brandon Strecker with Devin on keyboard and Dolly Dagger on drums aims to make their live debut in May so the Traitors might take a short break.

Acoustic Show at Falcon, May 24 2012

Devin is excited to be performing at this great spot on Sunset Blvd. This is a very casual atmosphere so it will be an acoustic set. $10 cover.
Update: This show has been cancelled.

Viper Room Set List 4/10/12

On April 10, 2012, Devin Tait & The Traitors made their debut at the legendary Viper Room! This is a place where Devin had always wanted to perform when he was in Shitting Glitter. This aspiration was realized ultimately when Invisible Material (the band Devin plays drums in) performed there twice back in 2010. However, Devin was very thrilled to be performing there with his own band. Making the night even more special was the fact that he and Brandon's sister, Adrienne, was visiting from Kansas City and was in attendance at the show!

Here was the set list:

1. Digital Representation
2. Winnipeg Beach
3. Strange Season
4. Why
5. Quickie
6. Alien Nation
7. Roam
8. Speechless

Upcoming Shows, Quickie

Devin and the band have been busy with some great shows lately, including the Viper Room on April 10, The Bull Bar in Long Beach on March 30, and Good Hurt in West LA on March 29. Next up is a free show at Trip in Santa Monica, and Devin has been working with a producer, Taylor Carroll, on a the new song "Quickie" which has been getting quite the reception at the recent live shows! Can't wait to share it with you all.
