http://www.ticketmaster.com/venue/32833/?search_redirect=Vic%20Theatre&tm_link=tm_header_search Devo and JP Inc at Vic TheatreAn art-school band that became a new-wave icon almost by accident, Devo started out in the early ’70s with a mind to mock the “de-evolution” that technology set in motion. The group got by on geeky obsessions, robotic moves, and clanging, pent-up electronic pop. Devo found an early fan in Brian Eno, who produced the group’s 1978 debut, and subsequent hits like “Whip It” and “(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction” (a goofy/great cover of The Rolling Stones song) haven’t left the cultural lexicon ever since. Devo is set to release Fresh, its first new album since 1990’s Smooth Noodle Maps, next year, but in the meantime the band still has plenty of kitschy sci-fi theatrics and surrealist humor to go around.Vic Theatre 3145 N Sheffield Ave, Chicago, IL
