We Are Devo !!!

If you only know DEVO for 'Whip It' then you owe it to yourself to discover more about this great band. Event time is a little late for a school nite, but ... worth the effort IMHO. I've posted the event start at 9:30 PM, but the actual show starts at 10 PM.

( from the Alamo Drafthouse Website )

FACT: Devo were the best band in the world. This incredible collection, released before their ‘80s “Whip It” phase acted as supporting evidence for the group’s de-evolution theory, is undeniable proof. No other band -- new wave, rock or otherwise – has ever burst forth so fully armed with revolutionary new sounds, images and ideas. If you’re still skeptical that Devo were the greatest innovators in music history, tonight will leave those doubts in the dust. The boys formed as a school project in 1973, beating both the punk and new wave movements by a long stretch and choosing to document their avalanche of creativity via music, film and even bizarre printed pamphlets on mankind’s evolutionary regression. The footage in tonight’s show (little of which is available on DVD) captures Devo at the absolute tip of their violently creative apex, where each music video and short film explodes with bizarre snapshots borne of future fantasies, nerdish sexual denial and unfiltered, unhinged brilliance. At the end of the program, you’ll have no choice but to stand up and declare: “We ARE Devo!!!”

Tickets to be made available about a week before the day of the event.
