TOTAL WEIRDNESS FREAKOUT OF THE DAY
January 21st, 2006 by Clark Humphrey

There’s an authorized preteen Devo cover band, “Devo 2.0.” Under the aegis of Walt Disney Records, a 10-year-old girl sings note-for-note recreations of “Whip It,” “Uncontrollable Urge,” “Freedom of Choice,” etc. I don’t know if the kid musicians in the video footage are really playing their own instruments; some online sources say the original band actually recorded the instro tracks. Even if the kids are just miming the non-vocal performances, they’re doing a remarkable job of capturing the spudboys’ complex rhythms, chord changes, and time signatures. The CD’s scheduled to be out in mid-March.
