I'm guessing most of their fans are using their freedom of choice to stay home and watch the 1980 live dvd.

DEVO ANNOUNCE NEW STUDIO ALBUM TO DEBUT FALL 2009 SXSW PRESS CONFERENCE AND KEYNOTE PANEL CONFIRMED FOR THURSDAY MARCH 19 AT AUSTIN CONVENTION CENTERONE-NIGHT-ONLY SXSW PERFORMANCE SET FOR FRIDAY, MARCH 20 AT AUSTIN MUSIC HALLU.K. PERFORMANCES ON TRACK FOR MAY INCLUDING A HEADLINING SPOT AT 'ALL TOMORROW'S PARTIES'
De-evolution has finally arrived...and who better to guide us through the mess than DEVO. What the iconic new wave, art punk pioneers cautioned us about almost 30 years ago is no longer a humorous theory. It's pretty much fact--we now live in a devolved world that's getting wackier each and every day.
The fall of 2009 will bring a new DEVO studio album, their first one since 1990's Smooth Noodle Maps. It'll mark their first new music since the strong fan reaction that greeted the 2007 single "Watch Us Work It," their first new song in 18 years and one that was produced by Sweden's TeddyBears (Robyn). They're now in the studio putting the finishing touches on their new album (title TBA).
The five-piece--featuring co-founders and songwriters MARK MOTHERSBAUGH (lead vocals, synthesizer innovations) and GERALD CASALE (lead vocal, bass) and rounded out by BOB CASALE (guitarist), BOB MOTHERSBAUGH (guitars/vocals) and JOSH FREESE (drums)--are set make a special U.S. appearance at SXSW this year including a press conference (4:00pm) and keynote panel (5:00pm)--moderated by radio veteran Nic Harcourt--set for Thursday, March 19 at the Austin Convention Center (500 East Cesar Chavez St.). They'll follow that up with a Friday, March 20 one-night-only SXSW concert at the Austin Music Hall (208 Nueces St.). Pre SXSW, DEVO fans in Dallas can catch a special one-off show on Wednesday, March 18 at the Palladium Ballroom.
In May, DEVO will head to the United Kingdom for a series of dates. On Wednesday, May 6, DEVO will perform their debut album, the seminal Q: Are We Not Men, We Are Devo! in its entirety from beginning to end at London's Kentish Town Forum. Released in 1978, the seminal album produced by Brian Eno and recorded in Germany features such notable tracks such as the band's cover of The Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," "Mongoloid" and "Jocko Homo." Next up on Friday, May 8, they'll headline the All Tomorrow's Parties festival in Somerset at the Butlins Holiday Centre.
Formed in 1972 in Akron, OH, DEVO--short for "de-evolution"--began as an art project cautioning that humans were devolving and regressing into a herd mentality of American society, not evolving. A conceptual band from the beginning, DEVO were ahead of their time, incorporating elaborate aesthetics into their live shows and seamlessly combining their music with visuals years before MTV or any music-video culture existed. Indeed, the group's first appearance at Kent State University in 1973 was recorded with a black and white portable video system. Societal satirists, DEVO's lyrical mix of comedy and quirky wit, warned of the dangers of rampant capitalism in "Whip It" and "Freedom of Choice", and the devolution of society in "Jocko Homo" and "Beautiful World." Onstage in their early incarnation, the group began with a mixture of synthesizers and rock instruments; as they developed in the late seventies and early eighties, DEVO became one of the first American acts to perform using only synthesizers. DEVO have now returned with an evolved look, ready to impact the vastly devolved world we now find ourselves trying to navigate.

interestingly they are using the brilliant US sleeve and not the fucking awful UK sleeve for the advert.

ATP needs to get the Q: Are We Not Men show in America for reals.

Did anyone here go to the gig at the Fourm? it was intense.

The new songs are actually not bad in my opinion. I mean, who really gives a shit about new Devo material at this point anyway, but they are better than 95% of the last two albums. I really think that production is their main focus now. They have become masters of the ultraslick movie soundtrack whooshiness thing but I wish they would think about getting a cool, creative producer to work with them instead of doing it themselves. That would perhaps put their creativity back into the songwriting, arrangements and so on. Their best stuff was always done with big-name producers with lots of ideas and their own sound.

The best song they have recorded in the last 20 years was Huboon Stomp from the South Park Chef Aid disc - but that was an old song, written in the mid-70s. And it is really mad. These new songs are quite sedate in comparison. They try to make them as exciting as possible by polishing them to perfection, but it's the lacklustre songwriting that causes them to fall short.
Still like them though.

Ugh. Auto-tuned DEVO is not what I was hoping for. I'm doing the study now and so far I've heard one song I like out of sixteen.
― Nate Carson, Thursday, 8 April 2010 21:02 (thirteen years ago) link
My favorite was Sumthin, but there were at least ten I honestly felt good voting for. And then another two that would be my preferred filler.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 8 April 2010 21:04 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm a big fan, but this is an over-produced post-Shout parody of themselves. Bummer.
― Nate Carson, Thursday, 8 April 2010 21:05 (thirteen years ago) link
Fresh was my favorite. Sumthin starts with the Whip It beat :(
I'm a big fan too, but I guess I'm too generous.

Auto-tuned DEVO
I think these may be the worst words in the English language (and also why I am not going to hit "play")

Sorry to be a spoiler Spacecadet. It's not criminal over-use of auto-tuner. But it is there...
