Devo have announced a few dates for the summer.

The post-punk popsters of yore - you wanna sound like 'em, but chain't got the spunk - will play:

June
18 Brighton Dome
22 Birmingham Symphony Hall
23 Manchester Apollo

These dates will be the band's first over here since 1990. Need we really add anything more? Possible extra dates? Yeah, they're possible, for sure - as and when any are announced, if they are, we'll update y'all.

Wanted to see them, but I've just bought Glastonbury tickets. Think they say on their MySpace that their only festival date is Primavera (i think...).

I'm thinking...

Birmingham right now...

I'm tempted to play the waiting game though to see if there's more dates.

the cheap skate in me

doesn't wanna fork out £35 for a ticket

London calling..?

These British shows are within the same dates as the Jarvis Cocker-curated Meltdown at the South bank Centre.
Devo have to do London surely.
Too much of a coincidence?

OH GOD.

I fucking love Devo. But I'm always apprehensive about going to see re-formed bands. Sometimes they seem a bit like a tribute to themselves and it's just embarrassing. Dead Kennedys. Stooges. All Saints. It doesn't always work.
