The Young And The Useless / Beastie Boys

The Young And The Useless were an American Punk band formed in the early 1980s that consisted of Adam Trese, Arthur Africano, David Scilken and future 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 recorded a second album, but it was never released and its whereabouts is unknown. They played shows in New York City clubs including: A7, CBGB, Rock Lounge, Mudd Club, Club 57, Rock Hotel and 2+2; and played with Bad Brains, The Stimulators, Dead Kennedys, Ramones, P.I.L., Husker Dü, the Mob, the Necros and the Beastie Boys. On Friday, November 13, 1982, The Young and the Useless opened for the Beastie Boys at a concert produced by Philip Pucci in honor of his birthday for the purposes of his short concert film of the Beastie Boys, "Beastie" Philip Pucci's Beastie Pucci held the concert in Bard College's Preston Drama Dance Department Theatre. This performance marked both The Young and the Useless' and the Beastie Boys’ first on screen appearance in a published motion picture, although the segment including The Young and the Useless was not included in the film's final edit. By late 1984 the group had 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.

Beastie Boys started as a Hardcore Punk band called Young And The Useless. In 1982, their first EP, Polly Wog Stew, saw the light of day. Over time, they have become more inclined to Rap and this is also related to the arrival of the concert teammate and later their producer - DJ Double RR (owned by Rick Rubin). After signing a contract with Def Jam Recordings (1984), they accompany the singer Madonna on an American tour. Only at that time did the composition of the ensemble stabilize in its current form.
