Yung Wu at Maxwell's (02-08-1987)

After the first disbandment of the Feelies in 1980, original members Glenn Mercer and Bill Million continued to play in various projects in and around Northern New Jersey. Some of the more noteworthy groups include The Willies, who are credited with an appearance in Jonathan Demme's "Something Wild," The Trypes, which included future Feelies' bassist Brenda Sauter, and of course, Yung Wu! Yung Wu is one of my personal favorites in the Feelies' universe, as it features Pooja Desai's favorite Feelie, Dave Weckerman, on lead vocals. Yung Wu released one full length LP entitled "Shore Leave" in 1987. Bar None Records plans to reissue this long out of print album in 2018, so make sure you get your hands on it!
