about
In the tradition of the Trashmen and the Rivieras before them, the Untamed Youth hail from the bounteous midwest region of these United States, and swing forth with the frantically delectable combination of high octane stomp, reverb, shout and soul that powered their heroes. As teenagers, guitar playing Derek "Deke" Dickerson commanded his beloved sidekick Steve "Mace" Mace to play bass, and the two lured local drum legend/school chum Joel Trueblood into the fold, along with organ playing Chris Fletcher to form a combo, which they dubbed UNTAMED YOUTH. The lads brought their talents to the attention of Norton Records in 1988, and soon found themselves in the recording studio, cutting their stellar first album SOME KINDA FUN (ED-207), which caught the ears of music lovers worldwide. Their second Norton album, MORE GONE GASSERS (ED-215) was met with instant approval from the stomp set. Their highly sought after third LP SOPHISTICATED INTERNATIONAL PLAYBOYS demonstrated the many moods of the Untamed Youth. The boys' career in the industry over the years has proven their longevity, despite sabbaticals and relocations. Deke has become an in-demand session man and solo star entrepreneur, while Mace has achieved a mystical balance enjoying notoriety as one of the most revered bassman in his field and also as one of the finest accounting students in Missouri. Early on, Joel searched elsewhere for answers, and his throne was occupied briefly by beat happy boppers including Show-Me
