Biography

Eric Scott Judy is the bass guitarist and founding member of the indie rock band Modest Mouse. He has a wife and two children, and resides in Seattle, Washington.

After meeting, Judy, Isaac Brock and Jeremiah Green began jamming in a provisional home next to Brock's mother's trailer. They met when Brock, opinionated as ever, came up to Judy, who was wearing an Econochrist shirt, and said "Econochrist sucks." 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.

On the album The Moon & 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 and the acoustic guitar on Good News for People Who Love Bad News. Tom Peloso plays upright bass on tracks 8 and 11, "Bukowski" and "Satin in a Coffin". Judy plays guitar on these two tracks plus track 2, "World at Large".

Judy now has a five year old son, named Milo, who supplied the cooing on track twelve of Good News For People Who Love Bad News, aptly titled "Interlude (Milo)".
