Spuds! It’s an unbelievably exciting time to be a DEVO fan. The anticipation around DEVO’s music is the highest it’s been in more than 25 years, and for the last ten years, the DEVOtional has been the prime event to get down and geek out on our favorite band. That’s right, everybody. TEN YEARS. Thanks to a few dedicated individuals (Michael Pilmer, Scott Orsi, Toth Wilder, Joe Machos and others), DEVO fans have had an annual Mecca meeting ground where we can all get together and do nothing but talk about the one thing we all have in common: DEVO. And who would have thought that, not only would the DEVOtional go on for ten years, but that in that time, we'd see a resurgence in the band’s popularity of this magnitude? And that we'd be on the verge of a new album, their first in 20 years? It is indeed a wiggly world, spuds, and we’re going to celebrate this anniversary the right way. The DEVOtional is officially extending into a two-day event! That's right! Need to stay overnight? Click here for hotel info! Friday, August 27, 2010 at The Beachland Tavern in Cleveland , OH . To help celebrate the TENTH ANNIVERSARY of the DEVOtional, we're bringing you more devolved musicology to get you in the mood for a full, solid day of shriveling up! The lineup includes DEVOtional favorites, and some new blood! Look forward to performances by: International Espionage!
