DEVO was among the most thought-provoking bands to emerge in the
aftermath of punk, but before hits like "Whip It," they worked in the
basements and garages of Akron, Ohio to make raw, unfiltered music that
the group called "Hardcore DEVO."
In the summer of 2014, DEVO did ten shows performing these seminal
pre-fame songs, created between 1974 and 1977 and rarely played since
then. Shot at the Fox Theater in Oakland, California, this exciting
concert film captures these groundbreaking artists performing the songs
that started it all, interwoven with interviews revealing the history of
the band. In total, these 21 oddities serve as a tribute to departed,
original DEVO bandmate, Robert "Bob 2" Casale.
