Devo Is Not Calling It Quits

Are we not men!?

One of my all-time faves, Devo announced they’ll be playing the Desert Daze festival in Lake Perris, CA this October, and the festival announced it would be part of the band’s “Farewell Tour”
HOWEVER, DEVO co-founder and bassist, Jerry Casale says that’s not true.
“If ever there is such a tour, we certainly will not name it as such” adding “More like ‘The Beginning Was the End Tour.’” Devo has only performed 3 times in the last 5 years, and it’s not like the members have a ton of time on their hands. Front man Mark Mothersbaugh is working heavily in the tv and film industry composing music for films that Include Thor Ragnarok, and The Lego Movie. So could it be the last show? Casale did admit “As it is, [Desert Daze] could be the last time Devo plays on this planet. Who knows? Spuds should see us while they can. Let us not talk falsely now, the hour’s getting late, as Bob Dylan said 50 years or so ago.”
I’ll keep my DEVO costume handy just in case.. Yes. I have one.. Don’t judge me.
