Wasted Youth
Moth Club, E9 6NU , [Venue Details]Wasted Youth are arguably the greatest ‘lost’ London band of the post-punk years.” Louder than War
Rarely mentioned in the era’s music history books, they were heavily influenced by the dark narcotic glamour of the Velvet Underground, the Doors, the Stooges and Transformer-era Lou Reed.
Peter Perrett (The Only Ones) produced them, as did Martin Hannett (Joy Division).
Wasted Youth were hugely popular as the Eighties dawned with punks looking for something sexier and more sophisticated and looked set to become much more than the cult band they became. They pre-dated Post Punk and Goth and are still remembered as quietly-influential and a superb live band by fans. Having split at the end of 1982, the band returned in February 2022, still featuring original members Ken Scott and Rocco Barker (also ex-Flesh For Lulu), initially for a couple of low-key gigs, but when they sold-out within minutes of going on sale, it became clear that there was still a demand for Wasted Youth and their brand of controlled chaos, pulsating rhythms and beautiful stories from the darker side of life.
Joined by new recruits Josef Rosam (Guitar), Sabrina Amade (Bass) and Alan Temple (Drums), Wasted Youth have been touring the UK, including dates with the Psychedelic Furs, Pop Will Eat Itself, and at festivals such as Wide Awake and Rebellion.
