Twenty years people. Twenty YEARS since their last studio release. If, like me, you'd never forgiven yourself for not seeing them the last time you had a chance (when you were a zygote), you better see 'em now. Their Detroit(ish) date is the day before my birthday, and something tells me I'm going to be seeing more than ONE of their summer dates. Minnesota Zoo? Ohio State Fair? Who's up for a road trip or three?
DEVO has secretly and not-so-secretly affected some of our best and strangest over the decades. "Through Being Cool" alone did as much to give us weirdos leave to be weird as just about anything else. (Oh don't pretend it was just me.)
Plus, of course, one of the greatest cover tunes of all time. OF. ALL. TIME.
And because it's DEVO, they aren't just releasing an album and touring the nation. It is, of course, a full-on media blitz, with the reactivation of the Devolution Army, and a tie-in with the Colbert Report. You can stream the whole album on Colbert's website.
