The entertainment world would be much different without Mark Mothersbaugh and Jerry Casale. We wouldn't have the awesome soundtracks in Wes Anderson's movies. We wouldn't have the "Rugrats" cartoon theme song. We probably wouldn't have the "Lambda Rap" from Revenge of the Nerds. And, of course, we wouldn't have Devo.

Though they haven't released a proper album since 1990 (not including the one-off Wipeouters side-project LP in 2001), Devo have been playing shows sporadically since the 1996 Lollapalooza festival. And they will be touring again this summer, scheduled so far for 16 shows in the U.S. including the Lost '80s Live concert in Englewood, Colo. Among the performers at said event will be t he English Beat, Dramarama, and (ahem) Flock of Seagulls. Cover that hair with a flower pot, yo! Dates:
