 | | Future Devo members Mark Mothersbaugh, Bob Mothersbaugh, and Robert Casale formed the band for fun in Akron, OH, back in 1966, inspired by the likes of the Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, Dick Dale, the Trashmen, and the Ventures. |
 | | The group never broke out nationally (that was never the intention), as the bandmembers went their separate ways by the '70s, as Mark went to Kent State University with Robert Casale's brother, Gerry. |
 | | With Mark Mothersbaugh handling synths/vocals and Gerry Casale the bass/vocals, the duo invited their brothers to join the fledgling group (both playing guitar), with drummer Alan Myers eventually rounding out the group and leading to a recording contract with Warners by 1977. |
