LISTEN UP. While I was in Australia I discovered too many shit-hot bands that don't have the following they deserve on this side of the world, so I've made a place you can find some of them. The first few goodies are in stock over at whippingboyrecords.bigcartel.com This will eventually be a label. Thanks to Grandmaster Thrash AKA @jamesburges for the logo.

One of Devo's first shows was a private party supporting Sun Ra, where they were billed as a covers band. They went on in theatre guises and infuriated most of the crowd who left before Sun Ra had a chance to play. In this show they allegedly played 'Jocko Homo' for over 30 minutes, during which an audience member took a stage microphone and insulted the band. The show finally ended when a promoter pulled the plug on the power, but a four track recording still managed to catch an argument and fist-fight between Gerald Casale and the promoter.
