Rational Youth




Among the band's notable singles were "Saturdays in Silesia" and "Dancing on the Berlin Wall," from their debut album, ''Cold War Night Life'' (1982); and "Holiday in Bangkok," from ''Heredity'' (1985).

In 1999, Rational Youth, with a new lineup of original frontman Howe and new keyboard players Jean-Claude Cutz and Dave Rout, released its first album after fourteen years, ''To the Goddess Electricity''.

Rational Youth toured throughout Scandinavia over the next two years, and played its final concert on November 3, 2001, at the Tinitus Festival in Stockholm, Sweden.
