We're so stoked for this show!

We join a super-group Devo cover band on this stacked bill that includes Man Made Hill and Douce Angoisse.

The celebration goes down at House of Targ in Ottawa on Saturday August 25, 9pm. 

You can join the conversation over here on Facebook

See you there! 

From the Targ event on Facebook:

For this momentous moment in history, a cover band has formed and called themselves ARE WE NOT DEVO? WE ARE NOT! Front to back, they will perform Devo's first album, Q: ARE WE NOT MEN? A: WE ARE DEVO! in celebration of its North American release date on August 28th, 1978 – the day that music got a little more weird. 

ARE WE NOT DEVO? WE ARE NOT! is made up of these Toronto people: 
Vocals/synth – Andrew Payne (Vanity Phase, Century Palm) 
Guitar – Fraser Wynne (First Base) 
Guitar – Alex Hamlyn (Century Palm) 
Bass – Mike Simpson (First Base, Teen Archer) 
Drums – Jesse Locke (Tough Age, Simply Saucer, Chandra, Rotten Column, Feel Alright, Century Palm) 

MAN MADE HILL (Hamilton) 
He will mesmerize your eyes with his body moves. He will pack your ears in a suitcase and take you on a trip through the tone zone. He will stimulate your brain with his humour jokes.

DOUCE ANGOISSE (Montreal) 
Feel the soft anguish of this solid electro pop.

EXPANDA FUZZ 
Start the night off in a fuzzy, garagey, droney haze. Sounds like a perfect evening to me.

About:

Expanda Fuzz was conceived attempting to rip apart a Pink Floyd song with a distorted bass and a fuzz-driven guitar through a ripped speaker cabinet...while playing to a Roland 404 sampler. The result of that experiment can be heard on the duo’s records, where they showcase their brand of catchy, droney, post-punk songs that hook heavily into a psych-garage sound.

Think Kim Deal fronting the Velvet Underground, or Mary Timony jamming with Suicide. For more info, check out the bio page.
