Self proclaimed "rock n roll cheerleaders for DEVO", Chezza Zoeller and Ezza Silberstein starting whipping up DEVO for the masses in October 2004. Together, they choreograph dance moves and special effects in DEVO inspired clone costumes, keeping the performance fresh with a new costume theme each performance. After a Spinal Tap experience of rotating musicians, DEVA has at last [de]evolved as a chick fronted DEVO cover band with the sole purpose of alluring wandering Spuds, Spudettes, Mutants and Spud newbies to the message of Devolution. Chezza and Ezza are joined by special effects extraordinaire Rob "Moogie" Bose on Keys, Matt "Goon" Wright on guitar, Claude "N-oog" Bauschinger on bass and Japa on drums.
"Few would have guessed they would not only still be remembered, but also spawn clones. Deva, the result of this cloning, celebrates a year of re-creating the sight and sounds of the very misunderstood Devo." Aber, Village Voice
