Back in the olden days, my human used to go to a lot of record release parties, fabulous rock star-studded, catered affairs with open bars and free CDs (this was in the days before iTunes). But her cats were never invited to be part of the fun. Well, thanks to classic New Wavers Devo, all that has changed! Today, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Pacific Time, Devo is throwing a record release party to celebrate their new album, Something for Everybody
— for us kitties! Twenty lucky Los Angeles-based cats get to attend in person at Devo’s label, Warner Brothers Records. But don’t worry, all you out of town felines — Devo has not forgotten you. The event will also be streamed live! Don’t miss this historic event!
I was not able to get the proper credentials to attend in person, so I will be checking out the streaming video. However, I will send my human to Warner Bros. in my place so she can report back about any behind the scenes goings-on! She and her boyfriend are longtime Devo fans. In fact, I won’t say who, but somebody here is old enough to have a copy of Freedom of Choice on a huge black plastic platter! (What are those things called anyway? Vine-all, or something like that?) It took an intensive archeological excavation to locate it. But don’t worry, I am giving it the mark of identification in case it gets donated to a museum.
Just found this post – Mom&DadKatt got to see the “Something For Everybody” tour in Richmond VA. They LOVED it! DadKatt was a DEVO fan from way back and MomKatt was in college when “Whip It” was released & have liked them ever since.
Purrz!

The Food Source saw Devo live a looongg time ago, and was impressed, big time.
He was really sorry we missed it. Us, not so much.
Oh wow, those guys are still alive?? I wonder if they will wear the hats? They ROCKED!
Devo? Never heard of them, but I’ll have to check it out, sounds really interesting. Sounds like your human has done lots of fun stuff!
This just cracks me up and so Devo like.
Oh rats!! Our Mom was washing dishes & didn’t let us get on the computer in time!! We hope it was a fun time!!
Have a happy day!

As soon as we read your post we looked at the time and it’s 7:59pm – dang, we missed it! It sounds like it was a lot of fun and we’re sorry you couldn’t go but we guess it’s because Devo wanted the attention on them and everyone would be swooning over you!
What a cool idea.
That is really cool!
We read about it on the CB this morning and forgot about it. But we did come across it again in time. Thanks for your post on it. Interesting way to introduce an album.
We love that huge multi-step cat “tree” the cats are lounging on at the party. 🙂
So it’s true…I heard about it and thought, really? Yes.
Your human can’t be TOO old, Sparkle. She said “CDs” and not “records.” 😉
I had no idea Devo was so kind to cats. Cool! Er, Whip it good!
Now Mommy has an ear worm…and flashbacks to high school. Yup, Mommy is OLD.
So not fair you can’t go…
Oh wow! That is so cool. At last, kittehs are getting the recognition we deserve. When does the limo arrive?
How cool! We’re going to try to get Mom to show us the Live Stream.

That is really neat. Too bad you couldn’t go Sparkle. Can’t wait for the Mom’s report
Have a great day.
How very exciting!!!! We would have loved to be able to go there! The MusicMan has that vine-all record too. It is kept in his secret room with all the other vine-alls. We are not allowed in there. 🙁
Hope your mom has fun! Maybe she can wear a crazy hat!
