The Young and the Useless
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Young and the Useless were a punk band formed in the early 1980s that consisted of Adam Trese, Arthur Africano, David Scilken and current Beastie Boys member Adam Horovitz.They were managed by former Beastie Boys manager Nick Cooper. Their first recording "Real Men Don't Floss" was released by Ratcage Records. It is rumoured that they did record a second album, but it was never released and its whereabouts are unknown. They played numerous shows in NYC clubs like: A7, CBGB, Rock Lounge, Mudd Club, Club 57, Rock Hotel & 2+2 and played with Bad Brains, The Stimulators, Dead Kennedys, Ramones, P.I.L., Husker Dü, the Mob, the Necros and, of course the Beastie Boys.
By late 1984 the group had slowly fallen apart, as Adam Horovitz began to spend more of his time working with The Beastie Boys. On October 28, 1984 they played their final gig at Club CBGB in New York City.
