I sat excitedly right in front of the telly and recorded this with my Realistic tape recorder that Friday night in '81! "Adventures Of Smart Patrol" still runs chills up my spine 30 years later! Truly unique in every way, never matched...
-
One of my favorite live tv performances. The caps they are wearing are based on the JFK haircut. Devo was big influence on my love for synths.

@cretinbob You're joking-they have surpassed that phase-nowthey have an instrumental track,a wall of electronic sound,a mission,concentrated expressions un-fased by beer,and importantly,a musical talent unbeknown to 'punk' groups.And I like punk too...

Epic,Devastating Machine-Blast played by 5 Live! Humanoid-Spuds from Ohio,
This intro is an incredible declaration of intentions to their early-80's period-and never attempted before by a band.....on exercise belts!
-
They never intended to be funny. And if they did they had a certain way of showing it.
-
strange connections:
Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo would go on to write the music for Rugrats.
Melanie Chartoff of Friday's would go on to do the voice of Didi Pickles of Rugrats.
-
Great performance. The drumming is straight from Can.
-
I am a New Traditionalist! Mark, TOUR MORE. There are more devolutionists out here than you might guess..
-
@TheWhanfried you can buy the New Traditionalist pompadour hair they are wearing on their official website now
OMG I remember that too. Wait a second that means we are OLD.... Grrrrr.

@chrichal23 As much as I love Kraftwerk, I don't compare them to Devo side-by-side. Kraftwerk was a very unique group, but mainly electronica, but highlighted by the use of instruments like the flute and theremin. Devo was more of an electro-rock hybrid, and brought electronic music to a rock audience, and also carried a message through their music. I love both groups equally.
