Thanks
. I was not overly keen on this chap but as he was partly responsible for the above band and the band in some small measure made me who I am, I suppose I should say thanks and R.I.P.
Devo Live.The strangest thing, was that they insisted we sit down to watch them.Sitting down in Erics was a total no-no! Still,it was their first gig in Blighty.
James...a bit complicated but simply put...a teenage me wanted more than the rest of my friends on the council estate in huyton I was brought up on were prepared to settle for. The pistols and punk in general awoke a spirit of rather silly rebellion in me which left me with a rather independant can do outlook on life...punk became rather leftist and somewhat of a joke rather quickly but the legacy of not being just another cog in the machine stayed with me...not bad for a 3 minute thrash.

Pretty Vacant - that's a pretty big moment in my memory when things changed. Mongaloid by Devo was hard on its heels.
DC. I saw devo live in 77...I thought aliens had landed, fantastic stuff.
