In his Brooklyn apartment, Devin began creating songs by recording them into pro-tools, playing all the instruments and singing all the vocals. He collected these songs into a project called “ROMANCING”. In late 2009, Devin formed the band Devin and the Little Angels. The Little Angels made an immediate impact at “Personality Crisis” a monthly underground, all-ages party at Shea Stadium in Brooklyn. A charismatic performer, Devin quickly booked performances at The Mercury Lounge, The Studio at Webster Hall, Lit Lounge and other New York hotspots. Devin has also created a buzz on the college circuit and was invited to play the Culture Shock Festival at SUNY Purchase College where he played with The Books and Surfer Blood.
Now performing as DEVIN, he successfully played at the CMJ Music Marathon 2010 in New York with The Postelles at the Neon Gold Records/Plugged In/Chess Club Records showcase. He also played with Mona at the Mercury Lounge. In Los Angeles, Devin has performed with Swedish group Peter, Bjorn and John as well as Ty Segall. Devin is managed by Jazz Summers at Big Life Management in London.
Influential blog Brooklyn Vegan said: "Devin combines the sounds of '50s rock and roll groups and '60s girl groups with the intensity of punk and garage rock to create catchy songs with a feeling of familiarity. However, he still puts his own spin on every song. Therriault's flamboyant stage presence mixed with his passionate vocal delivery make his performances extremely memorable. His energetic antics recall those of Iggy Pop and New York Dolls era David Johansen, while maintaining his own on-stage personality."
