Where did DEVO come from? How did they become 'lightning rods for hostility?' When did Bowie and Eno enter the picture? These questions and more are addressed in this video clip from the SXSW Interview with Nic Harcourt. Tales of their early years in Ohio and California provide a primer in the theory and practice of devolution.

I never took them seriously until recently. Only now Ive realised what they have contributed to music history. And I’ve been watching their live acts. Incredibly tight. Just stunning. I am a huge fan now.

I first saw you guys New Years Eve 1979 in Long Beach, CA .Wow! What a show! Thanks for turning music a different direction! When school started a few days later, the 5 or 6 of us from my school wore our DEVO t-shirts and the jocks beat the crap out of us. It just made us wear them more, made me see the world in a better way! ART,MUSIC, LIFE! THANKS!

So great to hear about the origins. They're so articulate and concise. I saw Devo perform several years back in New York City... They walked out on stage and the audience kind of held its collective breath, because they were looking a bit old and frumpy (not that I don't, mind you), and they then proceeded to put on one of the best concerts I've

the back of "Q: are we not men?, says- priduced by Brian Eno. but the Robert Fripp, and David Bowie connection had never occurred me. now it seems so obvious. an early female companion: a girl named Nina, whipped an LP of devo out on me after a date where she took me to see devo at a club on Broadway S.F. Mabuhay Gardens. i was underage. but, i knew that i was more of a devo aficianado than her. not so. a few black beauties and gimlets later, i realized there was more! de-evolution was a thing. an unavoidable state of mind!

Jerry made a mistake that was Charles Laughton & Bela Lugosi not Lon Chaney Jr in Island Of Lost Souls released in 1933.

@americandevo I love these guys, they really got me into music. They do have massive egos, too. You live and die by those things, but nothing in the USA can kill you or keep you alive for long... yet. Those egos-- Jerry's, to keep the project rolling, and Mark's, to keep it from rolling over-- help make things happen. Everybody needs that. I want to take a lead on something, charge ahead, and risk being called an asshole. I don't wanna be a team player only to discover I can't play at all.

Interesting, but aren't the two Bobs allowed to say anything?

'ShameONYOU' has been blocked. We apologize for not doing it sooner and allowing this lower life form to display his idiocracy. We hope he has not made anyone lose their hope and faith in humanity. viva SXSW!
