Their Work Has Proved Hugely Influential On Subsequent Popular Music Particularly New Wave Alternative And Grunge Music They Created Some Memorable.

The Name "Devo" Comes From The Concept Of Devolution Also Referred To By The Band As De-Evolution. This Idea Was Developed As A Joke By Kent State University Art Students Gerald Casale And Bob Lewis As Early As The Late 1960s. Casale And Lewis Created A Number Of Art Pieces In The Vein Of Devolution. At This Time Casale Had Also Performed With The Local Band 15-60-75. They Met Mark Mothersbaugh Around 1970 Who Introduced Them To The Pamphlet Jocko Homo Heavenbound Which Would Later Inspire The Song Jocko Homo

The Pivotal Moment For The Formation Of Devo Was The Kent State Shootings Of May 4 1970. Casale Knew Two Of The Murdered Students And Even Saw One Student Allison Krause With Exit Wounds From The M1 Garand Rifle. At This Moment Casale Claims He Changed The Idea Of Devolution Into A Serious Concept.

The First Form Of Devo Was The Sextet Devo Which Performed At The 1973 Kent State Performing Arts Festival. It Included Casale Lewis And Mothersbaugh As Well As Gerald's Brother Bob Casale On Guitar And Friends Rod Reisman And Fred Weber On Drums And Vocals Respectively. This Performance Was Filmed And A Part Was Included On The Home Video The Complete Truth About De-Evolution. This Lineup Only Performed Once. Devo Returned To Perform In The Student Governance Center Featured Prominently In The Film At The 1974 Creative Arts Festival With A Line-Up Including The Casale Brothers Bob Lewis Mark Mothersbaugh And Jim Mothersbaugh On Drums.

Devo Later Formed As A Quartet Focusing Around Mark Mothersbaugh And Gerald Casale. They Recruited Mark's Brothers Bob Mothersbaugh And Jim Mothersbaugh. Bob Played Electric Guitar And Jim Provided Percussion Using A Set Of Homemade Electronic Drums. This Lineup Of Devo Lasted Until 1976 When Jim Left The Band. The Lineup Was Occasionally Fluid And Bob Lewis Would Sometimes Play Guitar During This Period. In Concert Devo Would Often Perform In The Guise Of Theatrical Characters Such As Booji Boy And The Chinaman. Live Concerts From This Period Were Often Confrontational And Would Remain So Until 1977. A Recording Of An Early Devo Performance From 1975 With The Quartet Lineup Appears On DEVO Live The Mongoloid Years Ending With The Promoters Unplugging Devo's Equipment.

Following Jim Motherbaugh's Departure Bob Mothersbaugh Found A New Drummer In Alan Myers Who Played A Conventional Acoustic Drum Set With Mechanical Precision. Casale Re-Recruited His Brother Bob Casale And The Popular Line-Up Of Devo Was Formed. It Would Endure For Nearly Ten Years.

Devo Embarked On A Euro-Tour 2007 On June 16th In Barcelona. They Also Performed Concerts In Brighton London Manchester And Glasgow. More Information About It Can Be Found Here.

In May 2020 Devo Re-Opened Their Online Store Where Face Masks With Logo Designs And An Infamous Energy Dome With The Attacheable Protective Shield Can Be Pre-Ordered To Help Their Fans Protect Themselves From Covid-19. .
