First of all, I just want to say that I'm a huge Devo fan, and it turns out that this is a really good time to be one.
Back in March, they played a gig in Austin for the first time in a long time with NEW SONGS; 3 of them, as a matter of fact. Now they've been making a comeback in a huge way ever since March. Here's some of the new stuff on the way:
-On November 3rd, they're releasing deluxe editions of their first two albums, "Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!" and "Freedom of Choice" on CD and vinyl.
-Hopefully a national tour. They're already doing a tour through a few select cities playing the aforementioned two albums in their entirety, with "Are We Not Men?" the first night and "Freedom of Choice" the second night.
-THEIR FIRST NEW ALBUM IN 20 YEARS. Slated for release early in 2010. Here's a taste:
"Don't Shoot (I'm a Man)" on Vimeo HD
"Don't Shoot (I'm a Man)" on Youtube
Looks like they finally rediscovered guitars again. Hooray!

The new album "Something For Everybody" drops on June 15th. I've already heard a leaked copy of it, and I have to say that it's incredible. My album of the year, easy. It is streaming right now for free on http://www.colbertnation.com .
