Devo

Summary
A hive-minded amalgamate of five human musicians.

The band devolved from a long line of brain-eating apes, some of which settled around NE Ohio near Akron where members of DEVO eventually appeared years after the A-Bomb ended World War II. By the process of natural selection they met and shared the habits of making electronic noise, watching TV, and watching everybody else. They called what they saw around them DE-EVOLUTION and called their music DEVO. It made the sound of things falling apart. Spuds yelled and threw things like beer bottles at DEVO when they played. But one day in 1977 the Spuds cheered and threw fits because Spudboys in the cities realized that WE’RE ALL DEVO.

They are all following the commands of their genetic codes. They are suburban robots here to entertain corporate lifeforms. DEVO says that things like opposites and rebellion are obsolete. The fittest shall survive yet the unfit may live. It’s all the same.
