In lighter news, ever-hip Village Voice decides that Beat the Devil's lead singer is Mishka Shubaly. If you don't know the band, or know Mishka HIMself, lines like the following may not provide humor:

You wanna get there right as a Beat-the-Devil set begins, because half the fun in seeing this volatile NYC jazz-folk-blues-punk outfit lies in watching the unfamiliar react the first time lead singer Mishka Shubaly opens her mouth. Typical reaction: shock and awe. She looks tiny and jovial (especially surrounded by her menacing, dudely bandmates), but goddamn can she ever shriek, alternating jazzy, evocative moans (she's inspired Billie Holiday comparisons, and for once they don't sound totally ridiculous) with a nuclear-grade, paint-evaporating, continent-shifting howl loaded with more volume, rage, and pathos than the entire Ozzfest lineup combined.

For the record, Shilpa Ray is BTD's lead singer (and she can wail, that much is true). But Mishka is one of the 'dudely' musicians to her side, and has been a manly man for most (if not all) of his life. Here's the band. Can you tell which one is which?

UPDATE: Okay, they fixed it, but I thought it was funny while it lasted.
