John Kerry, Garage Rocker? Record geeks have uncovered that John Kerry played bass with the
Electras, a Ventures-style instrumental band formed at St. Paul's Academy of Concord, NH. Strangely enough, George W. Bush also has a connection to the sub-subgenre of 1960s garage bands, known as
"prep rock." When he attended Andover, Dubya was allegedly a
"clapper" with the frat rock band, the
Torques, although prep rock aficionados generally prefer other Andover bands, such as The Rising Storm and the Satans.
