The John Kerry Band!

Post by @?,*???&? » Tue Jun 22, 2004 9:10 am

Is apparently called 'The Electras' and their album came out in 1962. Being the right tall geek he is, it seems he played bass for them.

Anybody heard this?

I saw that on CNN this am. Remember, Tony Blair was a rocker too. And, of course, Bill Clinton and his sax.

This really begs the question.


What does Bush play?

Cool Stuff!! Thanks HypnotistCollector. It holds its own. Would probably make Joe Meek proud. I really like the guitarist's stylings.

The rhythm guitarist?

I like Kerry's bass. How would you describe it?

Grumbly?

Woofy?

Rubberband-y?

It's like those low-mids are huffing at you. I dig it. Definitely presidential material. 8)

I was referring to the lead player's instrumentals. Real Fender/Vibro/Surf, with a graceful feel.

i actually think this is pretty awesome.

although, what does it say about kerry?

he was a bass player. known for being quiet and in the background of the group.

representing the low end, rhythm and often counter-melodies....

is this really leadership material?

edit: given, his bass sounds totally boss. and the music isn't that bad....

hmm. clinton played the saxophone...
