Revision as of 07:03, 10 November 2012 by Spider of Destiny (talk | contribs)
Devo is an American band formed in 1973. They are known for their punk, art rock and new wave sound, which combines absurd humor and satirical social commentary. They are best known for their hit song "Whip It" (1980).
"We didn't know The Tubes at the time, probably not until we were on song number twenty or so, but we got to realise they were deep into what we were doing, while both Zappa and Captain Beefheart were an inspiration to us. So we were encouraged, but we also liked Kraftwerk and ]]Roxy Music]], and thought that if they were there then it all seemed to be coming round to what we were doing." - Interview with Gerard Scale (Devo) [1].
