“They’ve all been different,” he said. “With every project, I try to do something different.”
Dr. Shock & the GoGo Monsters, for example, featured guys in glam costumes and Cass in an Angus Young schoolboy getup he ordered from England.
His current band, The Jackies, has Doug Harold on vocals, Mike Harold on drums, Jody Park on guitar and Brian Hennen on bass. Cass does a lot of the writing and plays guitar. Longtime music fans will remember the Harold brothers from The Judybats.
