DEVO Delivers a Nostalgic and Subversive Tiny Desk Concert, Swapping Props and Hats Along the Way

The legendary band DEVO brought their unique brand of performance art to the NPR offices for an unforgettable Tiny Desk Concert. Though they left their iconic “Energy Domes” behind, DEVO didn’t miss a beat, kicking off their set with a powerful rendition of “It Takes a Worried Man,” a song they hadn’t played live in over 40 years. The band continued with energetic performances of “Blockhead,” “Praying Hands,” and closed out with “Come Back Jonee,” all while maintaining the edge that has defined their music for decades.
