Wayne County - Night time (Dortmund, Allemagne, 1978) Wayne County & the Electric Chairs - Wikipedia (english) Career[edit] Jools Holland had his first studio session with the group in 1976. None of County's albums were ever released in her native country of the United States, except for three songs on the very early punk compilation, Max's Kansas City. They were supported by The Police during their 1977 tour of Holland, and brought Henry Padovani in on rhythm guitar after he was booted from the group.[1] Greg Van Cook left the band and was replaced by Elliot Michaels.
After two albums with this new lineup, Storm the Gates of Heaven and Things Your Mother Never Told You, Wayne County & the Electric Chairs split in two, with Elliot Michaels following County in his solo career. Padovani, Haller, and Johnson recorded a final single, "So Many Ways", as simply The Electric Chairs, before management problems forced them to disband completely.[2] During this period, Padovani and Haller took turns on lead vocals.
