Description Jump to search Wayne County & the Electric Chairs were part of the first wave of punk bands from the 1970s. The band was headed by Georgia-born singer Wayne County, who later transitioned to female and changed her name to Jayne County.Amazingly, Wayne County, who would later become Jayne County, and the Electric Chairs were supported by The Police during their 1977 tour of Holland. The band recorded their first album, The Electric Chairs in February 1978 - with the assistance, oddly enough, of Jools Holland, who gets a name-check on the back cover. In order to recreate the sound of the album live, the band needed another guitarist, and so recruited Henry Padovani, of former tourmates the Police, on rhythm guitar.
