Are We Not Men – We Are Devo


 

*** Please scroll down for English version ***

Devo wirken heute wie Parade-Nerds. Sie begannen vor Punk, aber waren mit ihrem synthetischen Wissenschaftler-Pop im Grunde schon wieder Post-Punk. Devo postulieren die Rückentwicklung der Gesellschaft und manifestieren eben doch deren Fortschritt. Genau diese Polarität macht sie zu einer der spannendsten Bands ihrer Zeit, zumal sie eben oftmals ihre Instrumente auch selber bauten. 
Getreu dem fünften Punkt des Devo-lutionary Oath: „Wir müssen uns wiederholen.“ präsentieren wir ein legendäres Instrument ihrer Wahl. Den Nachbau der legendären La Baye 2x4 von 1967. Im Ursprungsjahr wurden nur 45 Stück gefertigt, jetzt 47 Jahre später erschienen in einer kleinen handgefertigten Neuauflage. Bei SUPERSENSE findet sich eines dieser Unikate. 

 

 ARE WE NOT MEN – WE ARE DEVO
Today Devo may seem like these typical nerds. They began before punk began, but with their synthetic scientist-pop they're basically already post-punk. Devo postulates the retrogression of society by demonstrating progress at the same time. Exactly this polarity makes them one of the most exciting bands of all times, particularly since they often built their instruments themselves.
According to the fifth point of the Devo-lutionary oath: "We have to repeat ourselves" we present a legendary instrument of Devo's choice. The remake of the legendary La Baye 2x4 from 1967. Back then only 45 pieces were manufactured, now 47 years later there is a limited hand-made remake available. SUPERSENSE presents one of these unique remakes.

    Polaroid come back! Those of us who can appreciate the creamy smoothness and versatility of this great flagship film in photography, will always miss it. I hope someday somebody will àquire the rights to resurrect this
    wonderful one of a kind medium. David J Vela
