    So glad I bought a devo's greatest hits album 3 years ago, took a risk buying it only knowing the song whip it. One of the best music decisions I've ever made.

      The album "Oh No It's Devo" is a greatest hits album in of itself. Produced by one of the best rock/pop producers of all time...Not Brian Eno.

    Mark is adorable! I saw them play the Coach House in 1989. Really small venue. Seen them 6 or 7 times since, most recently 9/25/21 at the RUclips Theater in LA.
    LOVE DEVO!!!!

    I was 12 when I saw them the first time. It was my first concert.
    New Traditionalist tour. Amazing live show, Mark gives 120% at every performance back then.
    Now he just does 105% because he's understandably an older fellow.
    But when he got up on stage with Massive Hot Dog Recall last weekend he was belting it out pretty good.
