Youth Group's Biography
Any journey to a heart of darkness requires a sturdy boat, and Youth Group – a band never afraid to circumnavigate the glowering cliffs and rocky shoals of the human heart – needed, to paraphrase Roy Scheider in Jaws, a bigger boat for the bold voyage of their fourth album, The Night Is Ours.
For Youth Group, that boat was the MV Cape Don, a decommissioned ship that from 1963 until the early 1980s supplied lighthouse keepers on the Australian coastline. The band was scouring Sydney and environs for a disused space in a quiet part of town to record in, and was offered the Cape Don and its moorings, which included an old mess hall.
The band turned the mess hall and the boat itself into a recording studio, complete with 24-track tape machine, racks of guitars, basses and a piano. In preparation, in the manner of ancient mariners, the band tossed away their razors and as their beards lengthened, the album began to take shape. The process was much like the sea voyages of old – one may only progress as far in a single day as Poseidon and the four winds allow.
