DEVO Are Back In Town.

DEVO have just announced will play their genius 1978 album ‘Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo?’ in full at the London Kentish Town Forum on May 6.

The band who took their name from their concept of “de-evolution” — an idea that instead of evolving, mankind has actually regressed, as evidenced by the dysfunction and herd mentality of American society – are still as weird and wonderful as ever.The Kentish Town show will precede the band’s scheduled appearance at All Tomorrow’s Parties: The Fans Strike Back event at Minehead on May 8, where they will play a set featuring their most popular songs.

When they first appeared on the scene, there was an almost unbearable tension in the speed of their jerky, jumpy rhythms, outstripping Talking Heads, XTC, and other similarly nervy new wavers – or so our Dad’s tell us. This will be a real treat for the nostalgic reveller and young indie Kid alike.

 

De de de d...whip it, whip it good.
