Tickets go on sale this weekend for a series of very special DEVO performances. The band will play back-to-back nights in select cities, performing Are We Not Men? live the first night, and Freedom of Choice the second night…both albums in their entirety!
As a thank you to their fans, everyone who purchases DEVO tickets online will receive three demos recently uncovered in the DEVO vaults. The previously unreleased versions of “Whip It,” “Red Shark” (later re-titled “It’s Not Right” and recorded with different lyrics), and “Turn Around,” were recorded in 1979 on a four-track in the band’s rehearsal space at Modern Music in Hollywood, CA.
Within 3-5 days of purchase, all ticket buyers will receive a unique code allowing them to download the music at a special redemption site.
Tickets go on sale for the Washington, DC, date on 9/26/09. There is no presale for that show.
