The Debbie Harry-fronted Blondie (which still includes original members Clem Burke and Chris Stein along with fresher players Leigh Foxx, Tommy Kessler and Matt Katz-Bohen) performs cuts off ninth studio album, 2011's Panic of Girls, along with all the singles you’d expect ("Heart of Glass," "Call Me," "Rapture," "One Way or Another"). Devo (Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh, Gerald and Bob Casale, and Jeff Friedl) has also put out a new(ish) album, 2010's highly praised Something for Everybody (their first in two decades), and is likely to mix up their set with newer material and classics like "Whip It," "Jocko Homo" and the like, along with their trademark covers of the Stones' "I Can't Get No Satisfaction," Alan Touissant's "Working in the Coal Mine" and "Secret Agent Man.”" The Bay area date is presented as part of a ‘70s/’80s Music Fest.
