The kind folks at KUNM having been playing our album! Don’t believe us? Go to the KUNM Two Week Archive and select Thursday 3/22, 10:00 PM.
Now on iTunes
That little iTunes button will take you to the iTunes store where you can purchase our eponymous debut album for $8.91. But you might want to go straight to Bandcamp instead (player below, link on the “Music” tab above). On Bandcamp, you can pay us what you want, or you can just have the album for free. ‘Cause we love you.
At Last
Here it is: Young Has Been’s debut LP and attendant collateral! It represents both a three-year labor of love and a lifelong love of labor.
Young Has Beens is made up of a rag-tag band of veteran musicians with rag-tag resumes and rag-tag attitudes. It takes us forever to do everything. Think about your grandpa. Nonetheless, perseverance eventually won out and this recording is the end result. Let this be a lesson to you. Or not.
If you (like us) wonder why we bother, consider this:
We are really quite old people, by rock and roll standards.
We scratch our collective living from a wide variety of industries: From finance to construction; from home loans to high-tech.
We physically designed and built the studio where we recorded this record, damn it!
OK, only one of us designed it (Thanks Mig.)
Between us, we generally put away at least a case of beer in a single night, and one of us doesn’t even really take part (Thanks Paul.)
We are somewhat fuzzy and disoriented, in general.
The video for our first single, “Interiors”, features approximately 1/3 of the contents of one person’s garage.
So now, why do you think we bother? That’s not a rhetorical question. We really need some help with that one.
Enjoy the fruits of our labor at your own peril, and thanks for bothering.
Love,
Young Has Beens
