Akron, OH's Devo are recording their first new album in 19 years. The band will feature a line up of Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald Casale supported by Bob Mothersbaugh and Bob Casale and Josh Freese on drums (Nine Inch Nails, The Vandals, A Perfect Circle).

The band also plans to play some shows in 2009, including a SXSW appearance, a May 6th show in London where they'll play Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! in it's entirety, and an appearance at All Tomorrow's Parties. Devo last released Smooth Noodle Maps in 1990.

Just sayin'.

Uncontrollable Urge and Girl You Want are amazing songs.

I love The Mummies cover versions.

Mothersbaugh's "Ping Island" soundtrack to The Life Aquatic ruled.

Preston (March 12, 2009)

His harpsichord-based music in Rushmore is pretty great too. Although he wasn't involved with Darjeeling Limited, I hope he continues to work with Wes Anderson.

miniblindbandit (March 12, 2009)

have you ever put the cover art to Darjeeling Limited and the cover art to Dead to Me's Little Brother next to each other? it kinda sinks up with the first part of the movie too. (the actual movie sans the short film at the beginning.)

Ravnos (March 12, 2009)

I bet they still won't be able to write a better Devo song than Weird Al did.

LushJ (March 12, 2009)

This is gonna rule, as long as it's more 1974-1982 ("Oh No It's Devo") rather than 1984-1990!

they HAD TO :)

thegimper (March 12, 2009)

The Aquabats are stoked.

I-type-poorly (March 12, 2009)

The 80's killed new wave music. Devo, XTC, and Talking Heads - all fuckawesome in the 70's... all turned into shit by about 1988. Devo was the first of them to go. New Traditionalists was their last good album. That being said, those old albums are still brilliant. Anyway, that song they sold to the Dell commercial was pretty good, who nows, this might rock...

clam_tears (March 12, 2009)

I could not give less of a fuck.

Also, wake me when the Pet Shop Boys reunite.

Lesterfangs (March 13, 2009)

so much for Josh Freese's supposed break from drumming to be a Dad....

that dude is NON-STOP
