The Electras: John Kerry's high school band rocks out

By at 11:47 am Saturday, Jun 12

Luke Francl sez: "It's a little known fact that John Kerry was in a high school band called The Electras (he played bass). The site KerryRocks.com has lots of photos, the liner notes, and an MP3 melange of some of their songs.

"Due to increasing intrest, RCA has re-released the Electra's album and you can buy it for $14 (previously, it was nearly impossible to find). It's crazy that RCA kept the masters in their catalog for all this time. But you never know when the bass player from some shitty garage band might get nominated for President." Link
