Latest
Booji Boy's Basement has served as the go-too destination for DEVO rarities, live performancces, and demos since its initial launch in 2004.

Latest [2015/05/23]
Did you know that the iconic "cloud guitar" Bob Mothersbaugh has slung since 1980 was originally meant to be replica of a potato?

EVOLVE OR DIE!

Latest [2018/04/18]
What was once probably the largest Japanese DEVO fansite, from what we can tell from the other side of the planet. Provides all the ample information needed to kickstart DEVO knowledge in its native language. Grab some cute de-evolved desktop wallpapers or check out the Japanese translations of DEVO's old movies while you're there!
Visiting the site today brings you to a disclaimer; based on what my translate plugin says, the site had to shut its doors due to an intervention from Warner Brothers. To compensate, the sitemaster still provides Japanese language DEVO updates via Twitter. --Sophia


FROGFINGER'S PAGE [http://www17.plala.or.jp/frogfinger/devo.html]

Years before Devo were actually up for nomination into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, spud Marc Friedman was pushing for our spud boys to make it on the bill. If some goon is trying to convince you that Devo are nothing but drecky pap, show them this page.

"SPIRIT OF DEVO" - THICK DICK AND THE GREENHEADS

In 2018, an infamous Myspace server migratuion resulted in an approximate 50 million songs uploaded to the site being lost. In 2020, the Internet Archive was able to retrieve half a million of these songs, including a little ditty by a group called "Thick Dick & The Greenheads" called "Spirit of Devo."

PHASE 2 [2002-2004]
Earliest [2002/11/23] Latest [2004-06-14
In between Phases 1 & 2, this site was in a state of limbo, being either under construction or a completely different site altogether. When it finally returned, it wa less a strictly Devo fansite and more a general world news site with an energy dome motif, now known as "Spudland World Service." This would later be abbreviated to "SWS."
The site went down sometime between 2007 and 2009, at one point only showing links to a pro-Obama site. 2011 saw a shiny new WordPress-powered page, and 2012 saw a single new post. The site's domain has been up for grabs since 2015. --Sophia
