Devo, Chrissie Hynde and the Black Keys Three of Akron biggest bands came together to play a benefit concert at Akron's Civic Theater for the Summit County Democratic Party and to support Barack Obama. Prominent party leaders addressed the crowd in between each of the musical sets delivered by Devo, Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders and the Black Keys. The latter went for their usual lo-fi delivery, while Hynde played an acoustic set with another guitarist. As for Devo, the band's performance was nothing if not energetic -- and yes, complete with requisite costume changes. Check out some shots of the gig by Janet Macoska Photography.

The Black Keys... two guys and a cloud of dust.

The incomparable Devo... are they not men?
