It seems like all three YMGs vanished from the music scene in the early-mid 1980s. What did they do?
Weekend and The Gist both fizzled out around 1984. Alison returned to Cardiff and became a chiropractor and tai-chi instructor. Alison and Phil were both in an early version of Bomb and Dagger, a “Bolshevik dance band” headed by Weekend/Reptile Ranch guitarist Spike. Stuart and his wife, Cindy, had a baby and lived on a houseboat off the coast of England. Stuart worked as an animator on several productions, most notably Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Shortly after finishing the film, he had a motorcycle accident and found himself holed up for awhile. He passed the time by borrowing an eight-track deck and recording some of the songs hed written over the years. The only recorded appearance of his during this period was on a 7″ by British reggae toaster Jah Scouse.
