Re:This why DEVO are one the greatest bands ever. 19 Years ago
When I get into rants about how flat the music scene is (it happens usually after a few drinks and people lamenting Oasis), I always close my case by saying, "And where is the new Devo?".
It usually stops everyone dead (perhaps also because they are shuffling into obscurity and people think they should know who they are, but don't).
Re:This why DEVO are one the greatest bands ever. 19 Years ago
I allways found Devo fascinating from the first import I bought in 1977. Listening to it now, it has the same feel as it did then, can they play really well,are they being strange, or doing the best they can and using an odd format to express themselves?
When the album finally arrived in the summer of `78 , it was obvious what a great and calculating band they were with a great marketing plan.
The re-recording of "Are We Not Men", proves this instantly when it leaps out of the speakers, and we could all finally tell how much humour they had in their own music.
Where are the new Devo`s indeed Michael, The A+E Line, who have signed to Hackpen have a similar humour,and are recomended, outrageous shows and videos.
