One of the trio of transparent disguises which
the Feelies'
Glenn Mercer and
Bill Million used during the mid-'80s (along with
the Trypes and Willies),
Yung Wu only released one album, 1987's
Shore Leave. A more rootsy affair than the duo's previous take on angular pop,
Shore Leave featured a recent
Feelies' recruit, drummer Dave Weckerman, as lead vocalist and songwriter, also adding keyboard player
John Baumgartner and
the Feelies' rhythm section, bassist Keith DeNunzio and drummer Vinny DeNunzio. ~ John Bush
