Eric Judy

Eric Scott Judy was the bass guitarist, founding member, and occasional backing vocalist of the indie rock band Modest Mouse.

During a Modest Mouse Japanese tour, a band looking for a name approached Judy and asked him to name their band. Judy, who was intoxicated at the time, wrote down Ogre You Asshole and said “How about this?”. Years later, the name stuck. When the band met them again years later, Judy did not recall the event.[1]

Other Work

Judy appeared on Adam Forkner’s first solo album in 2003.[2] He also is a member of Brock's side project Ugly Casanova.
