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 Weirdo Synth)
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 (Paris minimal/darkwave)
Live drumming, insane vocal performance & infectious backing tracks. Douce covers a lot of ground: geographically, musically. She move from France to Montreal & spent time couple of years in the London electro scene in between. Her infectious brand of minimal electro is always dark with elements of disco & pop blended with full on punk circuit bending madness to create an unholy & transgressive matrimony. Expect a strange and frantic stage show. This performance will without a doubt inspire

EXPANDA FUZZ (Ottawa Garage/drone/fuzz)
Like Mazzy Star run through a vintage fuzz pedal and synched to beats.
