    Devo clan returns triumphant Devo makes a triumphant return to the site of last year's spectacle. The performance you've been hearing people talk about in hushed whispers, the performance that left the critics reeling, the performance that established new limits for modern music, the performance that had people wondering whether they were hearing the music of humans, or of some alien form of sonic deterrent.
    This is your chance. This year's performance will degenerate in the Governance Chambers (as is altogether fitting). Seats will be at a premium, so get there early.

    Do not miss "Private Secretary," "I Been Refused," "Sub-human Woman," "The Rope Song," "Pigs Waddle," "Be Stiff," "Androgyny," "O No" and "All of Us" as performed by Gerald and Robert Casale, Robert Lewis and James and Mark Mothersbaugh ... the incredible Devo, 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 23, the Governance Chambers.
