Acclaimed filmmaker Chris Smith captures the gloriously radical spirit that is Devo – a rare band founded by a philosophy: a Dada experiment of high art meets low, hellbent on infiltrating American popular culture. Through never-before-seen archival footage and interviews with Mark Mothersbaugh, Bob Mothersbaugh, and Jerry Casale, Devo relishes in the highs, lows, surreal moments and incredible performances of a 50-year career, embracing the spectacle of the band from their lo-fi beginnings to pioneers of the music video in the early days of MTV’s cultural dominance. Finding mainstream success at the height of 1980s consumerism, Devo soundtracked the De-Evolution they’d long predicted – and influenced a 21st century they’d have never believed.
