Are We Not Men? Devo Documentary

I really want to see this documentary on Devo – part funded by Kickstarter. Devo are a band that really hasn’t had it’s due, nor has the influence really been that understood – especially from the political side. Glad this documentary covers as much the politics of the era from Kent State onwards, as I think the messages buried in the music got overlooked – such as the pointed ‘It’s a beautiful world – FOR YOU’. They were as out there as The Residents but also understood that they had to get on MTV too, that politics and art means nothing if no-one is listening.

Here’s a rough-cut of some of the documentary: (via Jeremy Biggs)
