How do you start an intro about a band like the great and powerful DEVO? Like that. Just like that. Like what I just did right there. Once you get through that though, you need to talk about how they’re the inspiration behind so much techno, punk rock, art rock, and just smart assery of Generation X. If you’ve never listened to anything other than their one enormous hit, let us introduce you to the magic of DEVO.
