Devo

just saw them... and they were bloody amazing. for dudes pushing 60 they had more energy than any of these brit rock/pop whatever bands.. and a heck of a lot more cool

anyway... yeh... Devo rule

we are devo

are we not men

Was really looking forward to seeing both Devo and The Sonics at Primavera festival. For similar aged bands, Devo were soo much better. (Sonics were an awful Status Quo parody of their former selves; Devo rocked).

It's funny seeing them in their flowerpot hats and yellow boiler suits with the middle aged spread, though!

If you like Devo, check out Clor for a contemporary version thereof.

Polysics were also at the festival today... the contemporary japanese version... did a cover of 'secret agent man'... amazing.

i might have broken my foot though... oh well

they did this.. was epic.. although, dont look like that now! rather chubby and balding.. still sound just as great tho

I'm not surprised.

I was not much more than I kid when I first heard it!

Yeah I like 'I Me My Mine' but a whole album of them is a bit full on. Saw them at that small club in Islington (near highbury corner) - hottest gig in the world but really good energy.

Mark Mothersbaugh is something of a genius. So few people realise just how much stuff he's done - look up his discog for a few 'well shit - I never knew that' moments.

Fuck. Wow. I feel really inadequate now...

his stuff in 'Life Aquatic' is ace.

and Polysics are intense, but, amazing.. glad you liked them!

i love devo. in a purely heterosexual manly way. just got hold of "the complete truth about de-voloution" and "Devo - live" on a double DVD and i'm really looking forward to watching them.

mark mothersbaugh is indeed a genius.

mongoloid.
