The best Summerfest 2010 show at Miller Oasis has just been announced. That would be Devo. Yes, it's a stretch to call it the best show of the season, but I'm a huge fan. Devo has been around since the early 1970's. Their radio friendly hit was Whip It, but I am a fan of the first two albums.
Mark Mothersbaugh had success in children's cartoons, and very interesting art, on top of being the lead singer and front man for Devo. Gerald Casale, Bob Lewis, and drummer Alan Myers were the true core of the band. Alan Myers left the band as he felt the creativity that made Devo so unique had been tapped out. Skyline Electric is where you will find Alan Myers now. The most devout music fans felt that Alan Myers was the best percussionist to play in Devo. I know that he certainly inspired drummers like Paul New of Fu*kFace.
