When I was 16, (woooow I"m old!) my first girl friend and I were very hip kids that liked devo, and we went to a show at emos downtown, we smoked pot in the alley ways before going after my parents dropped us off (things are very different now and as an adult I wouldn't do that stuff) but anyways, we went to see this electronic show that had bands that were heavily influenced by devo. I even got a cd from one of the guys of the zom zoms, i was so stoned and I think that even at 16 I kinda freaked the guy out because i was so nervous and awkward.. he showed me his "devo" tattoo and said "i hope you enjoy the cd....." it was autism all around.
we also saw a band called mission giant that was pretty cool from denton texas, all keyboards. very edgy
My parents ent up cutting the show short, as the zom zoms the headliner barely played 2 songs. They made us leave the club immediately, they called my girlfriend on her cellphone, (i didn't have one because kids having cellphones was still fairly taboo at the time)
figured at least roshambo might appreciate what devo copy cats were doing a decade ago.
