==Background==
James was born on January 18, 1956; the son of Robert Mothersbaugh Sr and younger brother of Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh. At age 18, he joined his older brothers and Gerald Casale as members of the band Devo. As each member of Devo adopted a persona for live performances in that period (Booji Boy, Chinaman and Clown) Jim became 'Jungle Jim.' 
Mothersbaugh played 9 known shows with Devo between April 1974 and November 1975, after which Devo took a year long live hiatus to work on their short film The Truth About Devolution. By the time the group reformed in December of 1976, Jim, now 20, left the group and was replaced by Alan Myers.
In December of 1977 Jim briefly rejoined Devo. By this point, the band had relocated to California but had all returned to Ohio for the Christmas season to be with their families - except for Bob Mothersbaugh, who remained in California. Despite missing 1/5 of their group, Devo wanted to stage another photo session at the Akron rubber museum, as had become tradition and so Jim Mothersbaugh replaced Bob in the photos. Jim shortly afterwards began working at the Roland Corporation, and continues a successful career as a music technician. Jim appeared at the 2001, 2002 and 2005 Devotional conventions. Mothersbaugh appeared on the 2001 Wipeouters album P' Twaaang!!!.
