Description

Are we not men? Best known for their industrial suits and red energy domes, Devo merged innovative stage sets, robotic choreography and futuristic stage uniforms with experimental music and quirky lyrics. Challenging the boundaries of popular music in the 1970s and '80s, Devo wrote their own rules. Emerging from the industrial rust-belt city of Akron, the Spud Boys were products of their Midwestern upbringing. This book chronicles Devo's formative years, the many twist and turns in the group's lengthy career as well as the stories behind the group's songs. There is also an examination of the Akron music scene that spawned Devo and other like-minded rock bands.
