If you want sources from the old country (read: throughout Eastern Europe), you might try:

Goran Bregovic

Emir Kusturica and the No-Smoking Orchestra

Boban Markovic Orkestar (a brass band)

I find The Arcade Fire to be similar to Devotchka.

this man knows what he is talking about.

to this I would also add Korcani Orkestar (they play together with beirut/zach condon live quite a few times, smashing performances, especially the 2nd song in the video, look at zach he is having soooo much fun

)

also Fanfare Ciocarlia , Iag Bari is a great album to start with them
