Kerry "Electra-fies" his bass

[bleach]

I know NYC GOP Girl posted the VH-1 link about John Kerrys' 60s Band the Electras back in March. I didn't see the link for the newly reissued CD. Check this out. http://www.theelectrasrockandrollband.com/

This is almost as good as the Bunny suit pictures.

Wow... he was cool way back then!

"Baaaaaack when IIIIII waaas playing bass for the Electraaaas, IIIII knew a thiiiiing or two about leadershiiiiip.." - John Kerry

[HIDEK6]

As a bass player, he probably sucked.

[Rebelbase]

The liner notes on the orginal album said this about Kerry:

"John Kerry, electric bass, is a resident of Oslo, Norway, and the producer of a pulsating rhythm that lends tremendous force to all the members."

more info here.

"John Kerry, electric bass, IS A RESIDENT OF {{{OSLO NORWAY}}}

SAVE this to disk NOW before they pull it! He's not even a resident of the U.S. in this pic...

Oh dear, you had to bring that brief shining moment of K effin K's life out to the normal.

[RightWhale]

He was fluent in the idioms of the day. Plus, face it, the band looked good.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Huh?

[lavrenti]

He is one of the worst bass players I've ever heard. That a Fender he's playin? Made it sound like a ten-dollar Kay.

[NYC GOP Chick]

You're *such* the music snob! ;D

[Lenmonster]

I happen to be a semi-pro bass player and bass instructor, and must say that I cannot believe HOW MUCH HE NEEDS LESSONS!!!

[Norman Conquest]

He's 17 years old, for crying out loud. How good were you at 17?

On the other hand, if you want to diss him for being the baddest badass at his Swiss finishing school, go for it.

[HIDEK6]

I would like to hear him. Can anyone get an MP3 of this band?

[RightWhale]

I don't want to hear his playing. The offerings of other bass players screw up my ear. I will listen to some melodic trumpets who know songs, some comping pianos, not Kenny G but Sonny Rollins, most percussion for 4 bars, any cello or trombone that knows how to develop extension tension. But not basses.

[HIDEK6]

I'm a piano player. We live and die off of our bass players. I just wanted to see if he was any good, or if he was a phony back then, too.

[RightWhale]

I know two songs. 'A' Train and Blue Bossa. Need a bass? :)

[HIDEK6]

Two of my big hits! Rehearsal at my house every Wednesday.

PS

We have a gig!
