Devo

Devo (/ˈdiːvoʊ/, originally /diːˈvoʊ/) is an American rock band formed in 1972, consisting of members from Kent and Akron, Ohio. The classic line-up of the band included two sets of brothers, the Mothersbaughs (Mark and Bob) and the Casales (Gerald and Bob), along with Alan Myers. The band had a No. 14 Billboard chart hit in 1980 with the single "Whip It", and has maintained a cult following throughout its existence.

Devo's style, over time, has shifted between punk rock, art rock, post-punk and new wave. Their music and stage show mingle kitsch science fiction themes, deadpan surrealist humor, and mordantly satirical social commentary. Their often discordant pop songs feature unusual synthetic instrumentation and time signatures that have proven influential on subsequent popular music, particularly new wave, industrial and alternative rock artists. Devo was also a pioneer of the music video, creating many memorable clips for the LaserDisc format, with "Whip It" getting heavy airplay in the early days of MTV.

    Devo 2.0

    Devo 2.0 (also known as DEV2.O) was a quintet, created for Walt Disney Records (with the participation of Devo), of child actors who sing, dance, and (in their music videos and photo shoots) mime playing instruments along to songs re-recorded by some of the original members of Devo. Jerry Casale directed all nine of the videos. Actress Jacqueline Emerson, who later appeared in The Hunger Games, was a member. The band split up in 2007 when lead singer Nicole Stoehr and lead guitarist Nathan Norman quit.

    Background

    While the music on the album was written and recorded by DEVO and merely dubbed in over footage in which the four dancing children appear to be performing, some of the members are musicians. Devo 2.0 band member Nathan Norman states they do play their own instruments with mild help from sequencers.Mark Mothersbaugh said that the band re-recorded their own music due to budgetary restraints.

    An eponymous DVD and CD combo was released March 14, 2006. Two new songs, "Cyclops" and "The Winner", were written by Devo for the album. In the summer of 2006 the band began a limited series of live performances, and also contributed a track, "Monkey's Uncle", to a compilation of re-recorded Disney songs called Disneymania 4.

    Deep Sleep

    by: Devo

    I'VE BEEN WALKING IN A DEEP SLEEP
    SLEEPWALKING BUT I JUST WOKE UP
    FROM A DEEP SLEEP
    A VERY DEEP SLEEP
    I'VE BEEN RUNNING ON REMOTE CONTROL
    IN A DEEP SLEEP
    I AWOKE THE MOMENT I WAS TOLD
    THAT A SMILE IS JUST A FROWN TURNED AROUND
    ON THE FACE OF A CLOWN WITH A MEAN STREAK
    IT WAS A DEEP SLEEP
    A VERY DEEP SLEEP
    I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT I USED TO KNOW
    SOMEBODY HELP ME NOW AND LET ME GO
    INTO A DEEP SLEEP
    PUSH ME BACK NOW LET ME GO
    INTO A DREAM AGAIN
    TO A SLEEP UNLIKE BEFORE
    SO DEEP IT NEVER ENDS
    I'VE BEEN CAUGHT INSIDE A DEEP SLEEP
    SINKING DEEPER AFTER I FORGOT
    SLEEPWALKING AS I WATCH MYSELF
    IN A DEEP SLEEP
