Q: Are we not men? A: We are Devo-lovers!
Its great to see these electronic pioneers still cranking it out. Nerds unite!
I heart Devo. They were the inspiration for our group halloween costume this year and their music always puts you in a great mood. Keep Whipping it Devo!

A dynamic pop group that has always done their own thing regardless of the decade. I've enjoyed their music since I was a small child and was overjoyed to see them play the Olympic games. Thanks for covering this Jeff and I can't wait for more stories regarding groups that stand out from the norm.
Did you give away the Energy domes already?!
I can't be the first to comment on this. Mark rothesburgh is quite the established artist as well. Go Devo!!!
Me please!
Okay, sure, thanks.
