Explore Devo's 50-year career through never-before-seen archival and interviews with co-founders Mark Mothersbaugh and Jerry Casale. Born in response to the Kent State massacre, Devo took their concept of "de-evolution" from a cult following to near-rock star status with their groundbreaking 1980 hit "Whip It", all while preaching an urgent social commentary. The film is directed by Chris Smith, whose credits include Wham!, Fyre, 100 Foot Wave, and Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond. The film is a co-production of VICE Studios, Fremantle, and Library Films.

REVO is a tribute to DEVO. By day, we are malcontents and part-time musicians. We occasionally roll out this passion project we call REVO. The project was born of our mutual love for DEVO as a ROCK BAND. To that end, REVO puts a rock edge on our tribute! This obviously makes us the Upper Midwest's most outstanding formerly-keyboard-less (now with some keys!) DEVO tribute band - A title we proclaimed all for ourselves. If it ain't fun, don't do it!!!
