86403SXSW Featured Speakers: Devo (Panel)Devo's understanding the ability of precise, multi-faceted artistic expression to relay relevant social commentary elevated the band from quirky cult icons to mainstream players in the late '70s and '80s. Co-founders Gerald Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh dubbed the band 'Devo,' shorthand for their wry philosophy of the 'de-evolution' they most readily observed in cultural shortcomings of the United States. Devo sought to bring attention to the crisis of individuality through a finely executed musical and visual experience that was equal parts satire and synth-beat-savvy.Bob Casale - Devo; Gerald Casale - Devo; Bob Mothersbaugh - Devo; Mark Mothersbaugh - Devo;
