I was at the Devo concert last night at the Denver County Fair. (I'll let that statement process for a moment.)
Ok, back to the post. The lead-in act was the "Itchy-O Marching Band." If the Septimus Lodge sponsored a marching band for folks in their 20's, this would be it. Strangely, I'd come up with the connection before I found out the name of the group. I think it was the strange seven pointed star they use as a logo, with the all-in-black-masks, weird lights, and the mini Chinese dragon. Or maybe the girl in the cape that crawled around on the floor.
Vimeo has a fair clip of them in action.

They do look kinda creepy. But any group marching with a theremin can't be THAT bad.
"Aaron Spriggs~ Theremin"

Did you have a good time?
As my daughter would say, it was EPIC. The venue was terrible, but, heck, it was Devo. They played a few songs off their new album, but mostly kept to songs pre-1984. Which is too bad -- I liked a lot of the songs on Shout.

A fellow Coloradan alright. I take it you're in the Denver area-I live just north in Northglenn. Welcome to the board.
and what's funny is that we did Devo's "Jerkin' Back-n-Forth" for an airband competetion when we were in high scholl.

Yup. They've moved on to blue energy domes now. They had another variant of the plastic hair, too. Oh, and the yellow paper jumpsuits.
The fans had just about every combination of Devo gear.
