Our Take

DEVO Live 1981 is a tantalizing time capsule of spud-tacular proportions, capturing the band in their prime spudly glory. With their unique brand of de-evolutionary funk, DEVO delivers a performance that is equal parts quirky and captivating.

Kicking things off with the iconic "Whip It," DEVO sets the tone for a night of spud-tastic shenanigans. The band's signature outfits and synchronized dance moves are in full force, transforming the stage into a psychedelic potato paradise.

Tracks like "Girl U Want" and "Too Much Paranoias" showcase DEVO at their minimalist best, with infectious melodies and robotic vocals that will have you bopping along in no time. The energy is palpable, with the band effortlessly blending new wave punk with a healthy dose of absurdity.

But it's on songs like "Jocko Homo" and "Uncontrollable Urge" where DEVO truly shines, their irreverent lyrics and off-kilter rhythms leaving audiences in a state of spud-induced euphoria. By the time they launch into their encore of "Freedom of Choice," it's clear that DEVO Live 1981 is a must-listen for any fan of weird and wonderful music.

So grab your energy dome and prepare to be de-evolutionized, because DEVO Live 1981 is a spud-tacular journey through the twisted minds of one of music's most eccentric bands. Trust us, you won't want to miss this spud-tastic extravaganza.

About the artist

Devo

DEVO: The pioneers of spud rock and masters of quirky new wave antics, DEVO have been delighting and confusing audiences since the 1970s. Hailing from Akron, Ohio, this eccentric quintet first burst onto the music scene with their groundbreaking debut album, "Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are DEVO!" in 1978. With their signature red energy dome hats and futuristic jumpsuits, DEVO quickly became known for their satirical take on consumer culture and de-evolution. Songs like "Whip It" and "Girl U Want" are infectious in their catchy synth hooks and irreverent lyrics, showcasing the band's irrepressible sense of humour. Despite their playful image, DEVO's music is no joke. With a blend of punk, pop, and electronic influences, the band crafted a sound that was both ahead of its time and uniquely their own. Tracks like "Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA" and "Gates of Steel" demonstrate their ability to marry infectious melodies with experimental production techniques. DEVO's influence can be heard in the work of countless artists, from punk rockers to new wave revivalists. Their pioneering use of synthesizers and drum machines set the stage for the electronic music revolution of the 1980s, while their subversive lyrics continue to resonate with audiences today. Despite their long and storied career, DEVO have never lost their sense of playfulness or their willingness to challenge the status quo. In a world where conformity reigns supreme, DEVO remind us to question authority and embrace our individuality. Bow down to the spud rock kings, for DEVO are eternal.
