An energy dome is a hat often worn by the American new wave band Devo as part of the members' stage outfits.
In 1981, Devo wore green energy domes while performing "Whip It" on the Solid Gold television show.
In 2004, for Devo's shows on the Nike-sponsored Run Hit Wonder race/concert, blue domes were used, and sold to fans.
In the music video for "Go Monkey Go", Mark Mothersbaugh can be seen wearing a white dome with a purple bottom tier.
In 2005, NECA Collectibles began manufacturing energy domes for Devo out of thin, off-color plastic.
[9] These were used until 2008 when a fan began custom manufacturing domes out of thick, red plastic for the band.
[11] When Devo's keyboardist and rhythm guitarist Bob Casale died in 2014 his cremated remains were committed to a funerary urn in the shape of an energy dome.
[13] On February 22, 2010 at an appearance during the 2010 Winter Olympics in Whistler, British Columbia, blue domes were distributed to the audience and worn on stage.
The new color for the domes was selected through an online survey and focus group testing as part of the marketing campaign to promote Something for Everybody, Devo's ninth studio album.
It's very important that you use the foam insert...or better yet, get a plastic hardhat liner, adjust it to your head size and affix it with duct tape or Super Glue to the inside of the Dome.
