Due to reasons all too familiar this year, DEVOtional 2020 as a physical face-to-face event has been postponed until 2021.

However, it’s still the 20th anniversary of our event, so we plan to celebrate! We’ll host a free DEVOtional 20th Anniversary Tribute Event LIVE on YouTube on Saturday, Nov. 14th, the date that would’ve been DEVOtional 2020’s main event day. Hosted on the YouTube page of Michael Pilmer/Devo-Obsesso, original co-founder of the event 20 years ago.

Being a tribute to our DEVOtional event, we’ll be reminiscing past gatherings, sharing stories with our fellow DEVOtees and discussing our personal experiences as DEVO fans. We’ll also have a few VERY special guests to be announced soon. On top of that, we’ll raffle off a number of highly devolved items…So don’t miss it! (Facebook Tribute Event Page)

The official DEVOtional 2020 T-Shirt has been slightly revised to reflect the tribute to our 20th Anniversary, sans date & location info. (See image posted here).

Also, don’t forget that the 5KDEVO race is virtual and worldwide this year! REGISTER NOW!

FYI: The Beachland Ballroom, where we’ve held most of our events, is also celebrating their 20th year. We paid them in advance & in full for our 2020 event because we knew they were in need. Because they are obviously still in need, we hope to still pay them in full for the postponed 2020 event as a benefit to them. (See options listed in FAQ below).

Q: When will the DEVOtional 20th Anniversary General Boy T-Shirts be shipped?
A: Very soon after the Nov. 14th tribute event. Tees will still be on sale during the livestream and will be printed the following week.

Now it can be told! Check out this Pandora Stories playlist, which features select songs from Devo’s career plus in-depth commentary from founding member Gerald Casale.

DEVO co-founder Gerald Casale has some good news for these pandemic times – the offical DEVO autobiography is being published as a paperback! Pre-order now at devobook.net. See Jerry’s announcement video here.

THE 2020 DEVO 5K IS A COVID CORNUCOPIA!

It’s Gerald Casale here for Devo. These Pandemic times require devolved solutions. You’ve got to be quick on your feet to go forward and move ahead. So, the 4th annual 5KDEVO race is expanding beyond Akron and going virtual. This year you can run / walk / crawl or Shrivel Up anywhere in the world!

Devo wants everyone who runs or walks this year while outfitted in the 5KDEVO gear to document their participation via social media. Then the 5KDEVO organizers will tabulate the World Wide Race results for everyone to see. I collaborated on the designs for the entire package this year so of course I think this is the best looking 5KDEVO gear ever!! ha ha.

Anyway, it’s simple. There are two registration options – The Duty Now Edition and The Spud Edition. Both options get you a shirt, sticker, race bib, and finisher medal. The Duty Now Edition gets a 5K (3.1) oval sticker. The Spud Edition gets a 0.0 oval sticker.

Here is how it works. Register between August 10th and November 6th . Select either the Duty Now Edition or the Spud Edition. The organizers will send you your shirt, finisher medal, oval decal, and race bib starting on October 26th. Run / Walk your 5K (Duty Now Edition) or just do a Couch Potato NOTHING (Spud Edition) by November 14th. Let the 5KDEVO officials know how you did and they will add you to the race results. Make sure you wear your gear and document it on your favorite social media platform.

Here’s a missive from Jerry of DEVO announcing an important anniversary and the re-launch of our official DEVO online store thanks to our new partnership with Impact Merchandising:

“FREEDOM OF CHOICE IS WHAT YOU GOT. FREEDOM FROM CHOICE IS WHAT YOU WANT”

DEVO, ever canaries in a coalmine, issued that strident warning 40 years ago this month of May 1980 on the title track to our FREEDOM OF CHOICE LP. We were pro-information, anti stupid conformity and knew that the struggle for freedom against tyranny is never-ending.

Here we are 40 years later, living in the alternate reality nightmare spawned by Covid 19 and the botched response of our world “leaders” to do the right thing quickly. We are not exaggerating when we say that 2020 could be the last time you might be able to exercise your freedom of choice. If you don’t use it, you can certainly lose it.

DEVO also introduced the ENERGY DOME in tandem with our 1980 LP. Graphically bold design in aggressive, primary red it became the most iconic symbol of the band’s multi-media mission to spread the idea of Devolution. We explained that once the dome was placed on your head it recycled the electrical energy that regularly escapes from your brain. People of course laughed. Now the dome is no longer a source of controversy or derision. Its popularity is a sort of proof that De-evolution is real!

As you know the Coronavirus pandemic squashed any DEVO 2020 concert plans for the time being. We shall see what happens. In the meantime we know that as the lockdown is eased human interactions at concerts, sporting events, etc. mean that masks are part of our foreseeable future. To that end DEVO will be offering two classic designs for your PPE mask needs. Check our re-launched DEVO store for details.

What? The DEVO store is back? That’s right! Against all odds after unfortunate experiences with some bad actors & pandemic related delays, we are now able to offer cool DEVO stuff to any spud who might want it. In addition to the masks and classic T’s we have a spiffy, clear plastic, DEVO PPS Shield that is designed to attach easily to the DEVO Energy Dome to protect you from invisible microbes and unwanted bodily fluids. Stay safe in devolved style!

Duty Now For The Future,

Gerald Casale of DEVO
