Formed in 2005, Young Has Beens is a question trapped in a conundrum
living inside an enigma. We know we're not young, nor do we have
past laurels upon which to rest (other than some illegitimate progeny
and a losing performance on Let's Make A Deal). But, we're there
for you.
By day we're mild-mannered technical writers and mortgage brokers,
but by night we make rock music in a dodgy part of Oakland. We like
alcohol (I mean, really like it), obnoxious T-shirts, and we'll
swear LPs sound better (though we haven't spun a record since Michael
Jackson's Off the Wall).
But most of all, we like you. Your crooked, jagged toothed smile,
your cavernous sunken eyes, your withered and useless arm from the
tragic combine accident, your $7 cover charge and two-drink minimum.
All of it makes you... well, you. So rest assured, Young Has Beens
is your friend. And not just because the males of you will binge
drink at our gigs until the club owners actually pay us some money,
or because the females of you will lost your inhibitions during
the intro to 'Wrong Side of the Word'. We like you for all of it
and can't wait to see you at our next show.
