Err... No
Devo were in actual fact a highly innovative and talented group of individuals who made a name for themselves in the 1970's. I just had a look at your profile and you don't give an indication as to how old you are, so i'm guessing not quite old enough to remember the 70's
Do a Google search and see if you can find a track called 'Jocko Homo', that will enlighten you

Quote: "There is a theory which states that if ever, for any reason, anyone discovers what exactly the Universe is for and why it is here it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another that states that this has already happened.”... Douglas Adams 1952 - 2001
I first heard about them when they became a local story about an Akron band gone pro. I was in the 8th grade, I think. I lived in Medina, Ohio then; about a half an hour drive to Akron.
I was immediately intrigued. Then, in Mr. Ship's Social Studies class, he talked about the band that he had just seen the night before on Saturday Night Live. Unfortunately, I missed it.
We had a young substitute teacher once that asked an extra credit question. "What is DEVO?" I knew!
I had a friend who lived right by me. He called me up one day to tell me about a stack of records he just got from his uncle who worked for WMMS, the famous Cleveland radio station.
He said there's this one record by a band called DEVO. "This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard!" He said. "Can I barrow it?" I asked. "You can HAVE it!" He said.
I walked over and got it right away.
It was DEVO's second album, Duty Now For The Future.
I got it home and dropped the needle. I think I listened to it straight through about three times in a row. I was totally blown away. I had never heard anything like this before. It changed everything about how I would think about music and art from then on.
I called up the Median record shop and ordered Q: Are We Not Men A: We are DEVO! right away. I then had to wait like the rest of the world for the other LPs that would follow.
By the time I got to college, Timing X, from album #2 was the opening music for the video taped Intro to Socialogy class.

BTW The name of the event that was a fund raiser for the Dems was Duty Now For The Future. I took the LP jacket and got three of the four original members' signatures! AND I finally got a chance to give them a few copies of my own CD, James Lehman 11:16:64!
