Gerald (Jerry) Casale majored in Art at �鶹��ý focusing on fine/performing arts and fashion-related studies. He witnessed the 1970 Kent State shootings and was friends with Jeffrey Miller and Allison Krause, two students who were killed at the shootings. This experience catalyzed the formation of the band , a visually-driven punk/new wave band with memorable performances and an overarching concept of “de-evolution.” He is known for playing bass guitar in the band, which released a Top 20 hit in 1980 with the single “Whip It.” Members of the band also included School of Art alumni Mark Mothersbaugh and Bob Lewis.
