Chorus ~ Devo

DEVO – ” Live On Chorus ” French TV 1978
Devo on Chorus, 1978, By the time of their 1978 debut album, Devo had it all figured out: the jerky art-punk sound, the Nuclear Family sci-fi look, the alienated lyrical bend. It all really came together in their manic, choreographed live show that was truly like no other at the time. Without seeing these guys perform interpreting their recorded music through their extraordinary live stage presence it’s difficult to wrap your head around what the hell they were REALLY up to.
THIS is what DEVO is. Driving rhythms, with heavy guitar use and wild synth layers. The gold standard for techno-punk. So much energy in this performance.
Filmed live in 1978, broadcast in two halves.
