"NEW YORK (
AP) — You know the band Devo, right? The guys with the funny red
plastic hats and jumpsuits? The New Wave musicians behind the silly “Whip It”
video? They had that odd, spiky ‘80s vibe? Well, it turns out you may not know
as much as you think.
The new Netflix documentary “Devo” is an eye-opening examination of an
Ohio-born art-rock band that argues they were perhaps the most misunderstood
band on the face of the planet. It debuts on the streaming service Tuesday.
“We were trivialized and pigeonholed,” co-founder Gerald Casale tells
The
Associated Press. “This documentary allows us to talk about what we were
thinking and what we are motivated by to create what we created.”
Directed by Chris Smith, “Devo” uses archival footage and interviews to trace
the band’s beginnings, rise and fall, with cameos from fans like David Bowie,
Iggy Pop and Neil Young."
