Master art punk provocateurs Devo announced this week that they will hold a fundraiser for Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama October 17, at 8 p.m. at the Akron Civic Theater with tickets for a lucky 3,000 people starting at $25 and going up to $125.

Founding member and bassist Gerald “Jerry” Casale, vocalist Mark Mothersbaugh and guitarist Bob Casale join current line-up Bob Mothersbaugh (“Bob 1”) and Neil Taylor on percussion next Friday. The usual high-energy Devo show features little crowd interaction, but Mark says this show is more about the the voters than the band. It’s also the first show they’ve played in their hometown Civic Theater in anyone’s memory.
