Biography
Mente was The Worst Band in Boston, from 1989 to 1994. Founded in 1978, Mente was the brainchild of Mern Jerzniak, later to be known as Ron Bacardi. Prior to 1989, Mente was a recording-only band of un-talented goofballs, with an occasional appearance by a real musician. From the beginning, Mente focused on writing as many songs as possible in the hopes that one may actually turn out to be good - the give-a-million-monkeys-a-typewriter theory in action. Early efforts included "Hoverin'" and "Manolete". Beginning in 1989, Mente hit the professional circuit in Boston and Providence, building an audience of misfits and drunkards. They hit their zenith in 1990 with such songs as "Bobby Orr", "Scrod" and "Sex Poodle".
