The super group that was formed for my birthday party last February, consisting of Chris Butler, Debbie Smith, Harvey Gold and Rich Roberts (with the addition of Ralph Leguini). Half Cleveland played on a bill with Chrissie Hynde and Jerry Lee Lewis at the Akron Civic Theater in August. Check out Harvey's take on it at www.tinhuey.com/news.htm

True Pioneers

Jim Mothersbaugh and Gary Jackett




"Jungle Jim" Mothersbaugh and "Genral" Jackett were both early influences in the entire Devo aesthetic. Jim was the band's first drummer and virtually invented electronic drums with his Barcus-Berry pickups mounted on drum practice pads. The output fed a synth module and the hihat pedal controlled a white noise generator!
Gary was an early experimental guitarst and graphic designer with some early incarnations of Devo. He also produced one of the first digital multi-media Cd-i discs, the forerunner to DVD.
Cutting edge guys.
