DEVO

On November 18, 1982, DEVO appeared on 'Late Night With David Letterman', a pivotal moment for the band as they were riding the wave of their album 'Oh, No! It's DEVO!', released earlier that same year. This album featured the quirky, innovative sound DEVO was known for, but it also marked a period of creative experimentation as they delved deeper into themes of disillusionment. Their energy and unique style were apparent in their Letterman appearance, where they charmingly reflected on their fan base's fervor and where they saw themselves in a future that, at the time, felt uncertain amidst changing musical trends. With their iconic de-evolutionary aesthetic, DEVO squashed conventional norms and firmly planted their quirky footprint in the early ’80s music scene, setting the stage for their enduring legacy.
