Jerry Harrison Biography

Jeremiah Griffin Harrison formed a band called Albatross in September 1967. They were all students and did some original numbers through mostly they relied on Steve Miller and Jimi Herdrix songs. This band lasted from July '69 to July '70. The next move was for Ernie Brooks and Jerry Harrison to re-unite which they did in September 1970 to form a band called The Eagles. They lasted two months finally splitting in November 1970. In the spring of 1972 they found themselves out in Los Angeles recording a demo for Warner Brothers with John Cale producing it. After a number of legal complexities this set of demos was released in 1976 on Beserkley records long after Jerry had left the Modern Lovers. Towards the end of Jerry's stint with the band he decided to pick up the guitar because I got frustrated with Johnathan's playing. In the end Jonathan was getting too crazy for the band and the original line-up of The Modern Lovers broke up in March 1974 having survived for exactly 3 years. Jerry returned to Boston from LA and got a job teaching at Harvard.
