Damn hippies.

I love those bored looking girls in the audience:  "What are we doing here watching these friggin' dorks in monkey masks? We could have SO been at the Dan Fogelberg concert tonight!"

If you're a real DEVO fan you really gotta check out the DVD release, even if you don't watch the movie just for the DEVO added features.

The new video release of Island of Lost Souls fully acknowledges the movie’s connection to the Akron-rooted group, whose first album was called Are We Not Men? We Are Devo. Due in stores Tuesday, the package includes a 20-minute interview with the band’s Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald Casale about Island’s influence. (Full disclosure: I assisted Criterion with the segment in a very small way.) Another extra is the band’s short film In the Beginning Was the End: The Truth About De-Evolution.

@haitipi and when was that??, 1978??

[haitipi]

@blefusku

It was called, "Like wow, man". That's what we called it when they first appeared on Dr. Demento

[blefusku]

@APTKSU don't forget tin huey!!

[blefusku]

certainly not new wave nor protopunk ,not garage or pub rock, not pop, not progressive either. they had an artsy edge of course, but the music is too primitive to be labeled as 'art rock'

what the fuck you could call this in 1973???

[dimmwitness]

awesome

[jamminmusicman]

devo and kraftwerk were so cutting edge during this time these people don't even know they were looking at what would become the next big thing 10 years later thanks for posting this interesting video

@dave12d3 But Autobahn was Kraftwerk's fourth album, and there were plenty of synthesizer things going on before then.
