[7] Myers joined Devo in 1976, replacing Jim Mothersbaugh following his departure and played on a conventional, acoustic drum kit.

Since Devo's move to Los Angeles, California, in the late 1970s, he'd felt his role greatly reduced partly due to the use of drum machines.

After he had left Devo, Myers went to work as an electrical contractor, but also remained active in the Los Angeles music scene.

[4] He recorded a demo with Babooshka, a band that was his girlfriend Greta Ionita's creation, using live drums as well as electronic percussion similar to his last two albums with Devo.

[12] In 2005, he founded the band Skyline Electric which played monthly shows in art galleries and clubs in Los Angeles.

[13] In 2010, Myers began playing in the live ensemble of musical project Swahili Blonde with his daughter, Laena Geronimo (Myers-Ionita).

[4][16][17] Myers' death was first reported on Facebook by his friend Ralph Carney, a jazz musician who knew him in Devo's hometown of Akron, Ohio.
