The Young People release debut LP, MP3s, stage major tour
11 June 2002

Los Angeles art/folk/noise trio The Young People were founded by Jeff Rosenberg (Pink And Brown, Lumen, Tarantel) after he relocated to LA from San Francisco. For his new band he recruited ubiquitous guitarist Jarrett Silberman (The Get Hustle, The Uphill Gardeners, The Hansel And Gretel Disease Forest, The Sound Of The Soil, The Jews; and owner of LA’s The Smell club) and vocalist/dancer Katie Eastburn (previously in LA’s The Janet Pants Dans Theater group).
    The newest signing on Olympia Washington’s 5 Rue Christine imprint, they released their self-titled debut last week and are now in the midst of a marathon US/Canada tour that continues through the end of the month—closing with a homecoming show at LA’s The Garage on the 30th. Check the band’s Website for dates.
    Eastburn’s voice might remind you of Gillian Welch or Julie Doiron, while the backing instrumentation is as noisy as it is melodic and minimalist. And if that’s hard to picture (or if it’s not) check out the three MP3s they’ve posted on their site—we’ve provided a direct link to an MP3 of their album track Dishwashing Song.
    The 13 tracks on The Young People’s debut are Ron Jeremy, Going, Dishwashing Song, The Pier, Collection, Death Don’t Have No Mercy, Repent, Ditty, Stay Sweet, Ghosts, Elizabeth Taylor, Rich Bitch, and Fly Seagull Fly. | The Young People | | TYP on Kill Rock Stars | | Dishwashing Song (MP3) | | CD from Amazon US | | top of page |
