DEVO’s Gerald V. Casale & DEVO’s video/audio archivist Peter Conheim (aka Bart Conway) in discussion, followed by Q&A.
CREATED EXCLUSIVELY FOR THIS SCREENING:
Formed in the wreckage of the Kent State shootings in 1973, where co-founders Gerald V. Cosale and Mark Mothersbaugh were students during the massacre, and still blowing the horn five decades later, Akron’s DEVO would take their subversive pop-art to staggering moinstream success. And all the while, they considered themselves filmmakers as much as they were a “band”.
From their first film onward (1976’s The Beginning Was the End: The Truth About De-Evolution), they fused their love of dadaist image making with their constantly shapeshifting music, confounding their record bel by plowing their meager promo budgets into companion films for songs.
This program unveils painstaking new restorations and reconstructions of much of this pivotal work (including “Satisfaction,” “Freedom of Choice‚” “Whip It,” and much more) alongside a host of rarely (and never)-seen live footage, encounters with hapless interviewers and other spud ephemera, curated specially for the Alamo by DEVO’s film & video archivist Peter Conheim (ex-Negativland, Mono Pause, et al).
For one night only, Mark Mothersbaugh takes the stage at Vancouver Playhouse with an 11-piece ensemble and special guests, October 8 at 6 PM.
From Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic to Thor: Ragnarok, The LEGO Movie, A Minecraft Movie, Hoppers and more, Mark will perform music from across his career as a composer.
More than 150 films, TV shows, games and commercials later, some of that music is coming to the stage for one night.
