"The Hardcore show for DEVO was like relocating a tail you misplaced a lifetime ago." 
Mark Mothersbaugh

Are they not men? Nope, I guess they're Devo! You get one guess as to where I will be January 17th 2015...

LA screening event with Mark Mothersbaugh, Gerald V. Casale & Bob Mothersbaugh, Director Keirda Bahruth and Producer Rick Ballard 

Saturday, January 17 - 7:30 PM
6712 Hollywood Boulevard
Hollywood, CA 90028 Map

Watch ROLLING STONE premiere "Uncontrollable Urge" HERE

DEVO was among the most thought-provoking bands to emerge in the aftermath of punk, but before hits like "Whip It," they worked in the basements and garages of Akron, Ohio to make raw, unfiltered music that the group called "Hardcore DEVO."

In the summer of 2014, DEVO did ten shows performing these seminal pre-fame songs, created between 1974 and 1977 and rarely played since then. Shot at the Fox Theater in Oakland, California, this exciting concert film captures these groundbreaking artists performing the songs that started it all, interwoven with interviews revealing the history of the band. In total, these 21 oddities serve as a tribute to departed, original DEVO bandmate, Robert "Bob 2" Casale.

A special screening event will be held on Saturday, January 17th at 7:30 PM at the Egyptian Theatre (6712 Hollywood Boulevard - Hollywood, CA 90028). A discussion with director Keirda Bahruth, coproducer Rick Ballard, and DEVO members Mark Mothersbaugh, Gerald V. Casale, and Bob Mothersbaugh will follow.

D-E-V-O


We Are Men, D-E-V-O
DEVO The Men Who Make The Music / Butch Devo & The Sundance Gig 


available on DVD and Digital Formats on August 12


Classic DEVO live in 1978-79, philosophy, and more!

Are we not men? Yeah Devo was one of my favorite New Wave 80's groups, from the wonderfully subversive S&M ditty "Whip It" to the perverted voyeurism song about masturbation "Peek-A-Boo" here for your flashback pleasure is more DEVO, no one can ever get enough of that noise!


The Men Who Make the Music combines concert footage from DEVO's 1978 tour with music videos and interstitials featuring a vague story about DEVO's rocky relationship with "Big Entertainment." 

As for the bonus program, Butch Devo and the Sundance Gig, Jerry Casale says, "In January of '96, we closed Sundance Film Festival. We wore 20s style prison suits and dished out classic DEVO songs to an unsuspecting audience of Hollywood elite."

Take a look at my favorite Devo song Peek-A-Boo...

                                                           Peek-A-Boo: I Can See You


"So put your hands on your face
And cover up your eyes 
Don't look until I signal"... Peek-A-Boo, Devo
