Eric Judy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eric Judy is the bassist for the indie rock band Modest Mouse. He has a wife and two children, and resides in Seattle, Washington.

After meeting in high school, Judy, Isaac Brock and Jeremiah Green began jamming in a provisional home next to Brock's mother's trailer. When the three were unable to continue making music, on account of Judy moving north, Brock and Judy began sending phone messages to each other with song ideas and guitar riffs. The three were reunited when Judy moved back, and went on to form Modest Mouse.

Judy is known for his atmospheric, sustained and yet reserved sound, which complements the often irregular and abrasive guitar work of Brock. On the album The Moon and Antarctica, producer Brian Deck used Judy's direction at various times as guidance for additional sonic sounds and fills. Onstage, Judy plays Fender and Rickenbacker bass guitars, as well as the double bass. He also plays the pump organ on Good News for People Who Love Bad News
