One-hit wonder? Yes. Decade-spanning mythology rooted in the ethos of societal and human genome collapse? Also yes. Fortune-tellers, DIY punk legends, new wave heroes? Yes, yes, and yes. It's DEVO week!
Joining the show as the first entrant into the two-timers guest club is TMGT theme song creator and best friend of the pod Kenny! The spuds from Ohio get their big break on SNL in 1978 and do not disappoint with a wild national TV debut. Whip It takes over America two years later, captured by a lip-synced performance on The Mike Douglas Show. Devo stays in the cultural conversation with performances on Fridays and Letterman, with diminishing returns. And a 2010 comeback clip has Regis Philbin asking the all important question: what does Devo stand for?
