The Queef Jerky Rave Disaster 

Commenting on behalf of Alice The Club staff members - we would like to discuss booking Queef Jerky and Jondren Hwang again

your confidence and borderline insanity is something i envy deeply

Picasso didnt make the mona lisa on canva is the funniest sentence ive ever heard

the fact that your first dj set was opening for skrillex and dylan brady is clinically insane and you should be proud

"yea i can dj" ... " DJ'S WEAR HEADPHONES??"

I know it’s all a joke but it feels like dev has really been doubting herself recently and I just want to say I really adore and love your content and music I think you are so uniquely whimsical and carefree and funny that it’s so refreshing and entertaining watching your videos and your music is sick. Please continue to do what makes you happy and don’t ever doubt yourself because you will slowly develop a cult fanbase I’m sure of it

5:30 That "oof" is the most terrifying response imaginable.

the casual reveal this was a 45-minute set was crazy

I can’t believe Dev hired a criminal to queef at her concert. Crazy.

I started laughing of sadness when she said ' btw, skrillex is here'' I would be at a loss for words too🤣

alice longyu gao asking someone who's never dj'd to dj at their party and you agreeing to it is so on brand for both of you. in a good way.

What people didn't realize was that her DJ set was the song of the summer.

the ginormous FART noise when you touched the turntable SENT ME

transition between cyberpunk fairy and nightstand is the best transition ever

This story had me laughing the entire way through. Skrillex just showing up to DJ has me dying. Way to roll with the punches though.

queef jerky and skrillex at the same show is insane I dont think this event actually happened its a psyop

an absolute rollercoaster, but think of this as a musical career fake out. make them think u arent a professional musician and then BAM show em how its done

I see progress and thats important, thats why they call you DEVELOPMENT LEMONS

You know how I figured out how to dj? I died. No joke. I died and suddenly the next day I knew how to dj. One day, couldn’t mix ice and water, next day? Professional level dj. True story, can’t explain it. Spent 4 years trying to learn how and suddenly I could just do it.

dev youre literally one of the funniest ppl on this earth, not to mention your immaculate music

That NFL remix is actually insane

5:00 i actually loved how abrupt this transition was

I'm a DJ too and I play your music all the time on my radio show. Gonna give the new single a spin on Friday. Speaking of transitions I've literally gone from 1950s Doo wop to Ghosted My Dentist before so it's all good Dev.

You’ve got 170k monthly listeners on Spotify, plus a decent following on YT, so I wouldn’t say that “nothing is working” for you. Just keep doing what you’re doing, you made the numbers go from 0 to that, there’s no reason they can’t double, and then double again.

This series is really fun. I like how it feels both sarcastic and very real

here we go again with devs shenanigans

I can't fckin believe you opened for Skrillex on your first gig. You put that on your resume and you'll start seeing more gigs coming your way lmao! amazing video xD

I see literally everything queef jerky does as a metacommentary on the way music is made and shared these days, which makes the fact that much of this you're doing almost entirely by accident and whim absolutely perfect, so great job.

Give Mama A Hug is a certified classic! I've been playing it on repeat. Every new release is better than the previous and I don't even usually listen to this type of music :)

This one wasn't a moral compass one at all, this was just goofin lol

12:35 Dev your an amazing human I think you accepting the dj set was brave and amazing that you got to experience it keep being inspirational

As a DJ I actually love when artists take a stab at DJing as long as they give it a good effort! Lots of times it doesn't matter if you know how as long as your vibes are right

i thought the hammer thingn was funny dev lemons

I like these "Nathan For You" style videos.

this was funny as hell and if I was in the audience I would be laughing so hard and having a great time. anyone with a sense of humor would enjoy your performance, it didnt ruin peoples nights at all

I don't think I've ever seen a more confident person in my life

It's OK to feel shame and be embarrassed in life sometimes life isn't all about positivity

I just discovered your music today. Im 54, and I feel like I just got a B-12 shot... or snorted a pixie stix. You guys are incredible. Just keep doing what you're doing.

I can super relate to this. I am a 3D animator who was once hired by a local community hall to give a talk about .... well the people who hired me didn't say what they wanted me to talk about. They just, for some reason, wanted me to talk. In front of hundreds of boomer-age or older grandmas and grandpas who like to take weekend paint-along classes. I had no idea what to say to them, or what kind of thing they were expecting me to say. So I decided, hm, maybe I'll just do a presentation on the current state of technology relating to CGI and work it somehow into relating to using 3d printing to make arts and crafts. Anyway, I get here and I find out that they DO NOT HAVE INTERNET ACCESS IN THIS BUILDING. I can't access the internet, where most of the stuff in my presentation needed to be. Like youtube videos and stuff. It was a nightmare, and everything was horrible, and nobody knew what I was talking about, and I'm pretty sure I even told them that it's possible to 3D print a replica of Hugh Jackman at one point. They all clapped and said my presentation was amazingly informative and insightful. lol

This is some Nathan Felder shit

your moral compass is eternally pointed to the funny, I respect it

if you don't make more music like give mamma a hug i will be devistated. pls don't listen to the haters, you're creating some really solid, more experimental and like electronic-pop-punk adjacent type music. pls just keep expressing yourself in your music how you feel like, it's making me feel really excited about music releases again.

😭 nah this shit is hilarious, lucky ass hell you played in the sunny-always-happy west coast bc you’d get boo’d here in always-in-a-bad-mood east coast

THAT RYM RATING MADE ME SCREAM!

i probably wouldve unplugged the whole building by accident dude youre fine!

the queef out jerked the lemon. dev.

Re: moral compass.... my favorite band in the world, "The Ex" from the Netherlands, because they signed up for a punk show in 1979 before any of them knew how to play instruments. They are STILL playing together and have invented whole sonic territories based on their fresh perspective toward sound. I didn't see the show, but I am sure many much more seasoned DJs actually learned from watching you try something new without any "prejudice" of formal training. You are 2 dang wicked awesome. You makd the world better by doing your thang!

I have zero professional art experience but I think the whole thing is like how sometimes the context of the art is more important than the skill or technique. At first I was really nervous for you as you were talking about it all but then when you showed the actual video you actually killed it so much even when you touched the turntable because you made it make sense! It was very punk rock of you. I'm probably wrong but I feel like I can relate to your thoughts and for me it's like I doubt myself for reasons I don't understand and I try to get rid of it, but I think the doubt comes because the goals you have for your art and what you want to express and achieve require these experiences of doubt because you want to make brave music and if you were super certain and felt perfectly secure then it wouldn't be bravery anymore. In the end, you doing the set despite your doubts was putting your name out there and showing that you really do want this, and I think in doing this you have been growing your art to be just as bravely human as you! I think its like the whole thing is a process that we just can't understand when we're in the center of it but you're here experiencing these things because you put yourself in this position and you did that because you knew this would help you grow. Good art requires experience and the meaning of art is defined by the experiences imbued in that art and I think your art is like jazz as a modern lifestyle. Like how in jazz it's the notes that come after that make the previous ones sound good. You are so good at rolling with the punches and I've never seen anyone make the wild chaotic absurdness of human existence look so cool! I really love your art and I feel like you have already contributed so much to music and you have so much more to do! Please don't stop being you, you are too good at it 😭

Your moral compass is fine. You deserved to be there even if you bombed (which you didn’t do, people still had fun and that’s the most important thing). I love your music, found it through your RU-vid when i didnt really watch you, and i really enjoy you as an artist. Be funny, be free, like it doesn’t matter because you love creating and you’re gonna continue no matter the opinion of others. Doubt is constant but the desire to create is unwavering. Ilysm your new song is so sick ❤

I think it’s really cool that you and Nick did this. Like you learned how to DJ in a week and got a second gig from it and with actual time you’ll probably be able to do a really good job DJing and it will probably help with your music as well! It’s so sick that you got this opportunity and I think you accepting it could possibly change the trajectory of how people think of you and Nicks music!

i love her personality so much, i dont care what shes making shes a musician

Hi Dev! I'm pretty sure I'm an old fart that's not super in your target demographic and I don't have tiktok and only kinda uses youtube but I found your music as organically as possible (my baby cousin has Queef Jerky in her cheer routine playlist) and I can say I was smitten from the start. Music is art and the only bad music is the kind that doesn't make you feel a thing listening to it, and I definitely felt things. Hearing ya'll exuberantly and gleefully perform reminded me so much of being in my own little "shitty" ska and punk bands. Reminds me of going to $5 shows at the community center with kids banging on keyboards and screaming about capitalism. Reminds me of outsider music. It's joyus and human and who gives a lick if haters don'tget it. If there is love in the things you make you will always have a fan in me. ❤️

4:17 her eyes going in two different directions is making me cry from laughing so hard

I swear to fnaf u are always inspiring me to make weirder art and put it out

if you think about it dev lemons basically collaborated with Bladee and Yung Lean now

You’re crazier than a soup sandwich. It takes some serious je nesais quoi to get up there and own it, and I personally find that that’s amazing.

the hammer thing was lowkey funny people have no humor

Thank you Dev. Thanks to your inflationary usage in your videos now everyone and their mother is using the saying „everyone and their mother“ to describe something everyone and their mother is doing.

Literally lost 36 of my friends in a rave 7 years ago and I’ve been waiting patiently for someone else to come along and sucker punch the rave straight in the face for me, thank you!! I excommunicated myself from the BS so you’re the next best thing.. it’s up to you boo! ❤️❤️❤️

The transition from the first half of the nfl theme to the second half of the nfl theme was crazy good dj lemur

There is no clearer mission statement than “I want this and I'm not giving up until I don't want this anymore.” 😂

shoutout give mama a hug

What's so hard to accept that skills are something that you have to acquire?

"zuck didnt make fb on wix" is the funniest thing anyones said this year

being able to take risks like that leads to so many more opportunities, i think it's crazy awesome that you were able to have this experience. i hope you keep trying new things without fear of failure because that's how you grow as a person

dev, youre so fucking inspiring bro i hope the self deprecation in the videos are purely for entertainment purposes because not many people could really put themselves out there like you are . never stop wanting it bro we gon GET IT

I am constantly impressed with your ambition, confidence and creativity. Like your ability to just get sh*t done. Which gives me faith that anything you want you will figure out how to get it. And as far as your moral compass goes I think asking that in the first place says your moral compass is fine. ❤

Props for getting on stage and performing in front of a whole room, that shit is nerve racking, especially when you don't feel fully ready. You're stronger because of that experience and you're just going to keep improving, so... props!

I LOVE that you tried it. You got the opportunity and just did it for fun and put time into learning it. I WISH I could do that. Life isn’t that serious, take opportunities and learn stuff

I actually like that mo bamba school boy transition lmao

i love the new format its very nathan fielder. ur goal to get ur music famous

next time you do a rave, you got to make it darker. nothing but black light and strobe, maybe one of those green confeti lazers. you wouldnt believe how important the lighting is to match the vibe at a rave

one peice of advice id love to give is dont overthink and just have fun touch buttons mess around with stuff make mistakes its all for fun especially if your new

so glad dev was here for comedic relief

I think "I love guys" was genuine

I just wanted to say I really enjoy your recent release, give mama a hug! It’s one of my most played songs recently

Dev Lemons, Guessing Games is one of the greatest, most groundbreaking tracks of the last decade. Your music WILL get the recognition based sheerly on how deeply inspired it is , and it will be remembered as such. Give it time. New sounds take a whiiiiiiileeeee to be accepted by the masses.

can’t believe u keep getting hate for doing genuinely hysterical shit like this. people take music too seriously sometimes ig… love ya dev! keep being your absolutely insane self

I was there!! and tbh you definitely fooled me but I still enjoyed your set! I only wish I said hi to you :') I saw you guys offstage but I was nervous

Actually glad u did this video cuz alotta ppl don’t think djs do shit.

Why did I read queef jerky in my notifications and immediately click?

I can’t believe dev lemons opened for queef jerky

There's tons of stories in music history of ppl saying they can do something when they can't. Carole King learning how to write for string arrangements hastily at a Library so that the Temptations could record one of her songs, for example. Kudos for going for it. I still think you should ask yourself deeply 'why' you want to make it, and what that specifically looks like though. I think we'd like to know too. Blindly wanting to 'make it' is a toxic game, and if we don't know why you want it and what that goal looks like, we can't be as invested either. I left a big comment on your last video talking more in-depth about that sort of thing, how much blindly looking for fame fucked me up for a while, so I won't reiterate here. But good luck, and enjoy the journey :) think a lot less about 'how' and think more about 'why'. More being, less doing.

Regardless of what anyone is saying about your music I literally listen to “Give Mama A Hug” every week since it dropped; I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! The music, the production, the lyrics, everything babes. Keep on, keeping on

Love to hear this. My current project is also out of my league, almost always is. Nice to see it might be a normal struggle

Don't let real DJs see this video😭😭😭😭

We love morally wrong lemons

“My friend Alice” and it’s ALICE FUCKING LONGYU GAO WHAT A FLEX

THE PART WHERE YOU TOUCH THE 3000 LMAOOOOO

Dev I think your brain should eventually be studied. You're such a lovable oddball

it looked like a lot of fun!!! and the silly parts make it even better i would have loved being at the show

knowing now that you know alice longyu gao is so sweet. that makes so much sense.

I feel like more women need to do and document kinda insane (non harmful) shenanigans. Ur making art u don't need an impeccable moral compass 🤝

nice to see you and nick having fun.

I totes got myself booked by installing a pirate copy of virtual dj and asking a boy to show me how, this is the dream, you're living it

You asked for honesty so here you go: Girl you are everything. Nothing wrong with your moral compass, just living your best life and giving us all something to enjoy. True artist❤

I wish my connections could buy me a career.

I'm so proud and inspired by your confidence to do this!! Everyone's gotta start somewhere, and if anyone is pissed at YOU bc you opened for Skrillex while still amateur level then they need to check their head. You were at the right place at the right time fully on board and got lucky for the opportunity and just made all the acts following you look that much more impressive by simply not already having godskills. Even if there WAS anything to be mad about, be mad at the organizers for hiring an act with less skill or something idk. Not the person themselves, you'd be crazy not to do this if you wanted to! Eta - I would've had a blast at your set. Im so happy the crowd was giving you love bc your performance art(as you call it) really gave the set energy, intrigue, even suspense 🤣🤣

Slide your music into sets. You deserve all the hype. You're insane. Love you huge

Absolutely got me with the rate your music score. So shocked I immediately went to verify on the site, where it's actually at a 4/5 lol
