From his elementary school cavorting with fellow student Ted Nugent, to drunken jam sessions with Canned Heat and Mothers of Invention, to backing up early Madonna on New York cable TV, touring with Duran Duran, standing in N.Y.C. hErOiN lines with Iggy Pop, Keith Richards, and various New York Dolls.
"I'm still alive..." brags Jerome "and that’s my major accomplishment to date. I hope the planet survives long enough for me to make more records."

In 1985 in Los Angeles, California, jerome t. youngman created a band of machines called Too Many Gods. For the first time, with the invention of midi (musical instrument digital interface) a one person pre-programmed project became possible. Too Many Gods was the first one person tecno-punk band to ever exist. With the assistance of dancer Shelly, Too Many Gods became regulars at the limbo lounge in the West Hollywood underground punk-disco drag queen scene. Too Many Gods thrilled audiences with their nude dancing and fleshy blend of heavy guitars over mutant disco dance beats...........
Too Many Gods evolved into Mutant Press, whose first job was headlining international act at the LUC club in Mexico City in 1990. For unknown reasons, Mutant Press returned to Detroit in the mid 90's "To re-connect with my roots?????" mumbles Jerome. After the death of jerome’s parents in 2004, the band quickly returned to the West Coast. Various humans beings have been added throughout the years, much to the distress of Jerome and the steadiness of the sequenced beats. Current Mutant Press members are jerome t. youngman ...jennifer gibbs and an endless rotation of local austin musicians.....
Mutant Press continues playing live and making cool recordings and is producing local & national underground punk and hip-hop bands. Mikee Labash and Frank Moore ...luver.com... from San Francisco joined the creative team after the 2004 Mothers’ day performance at Kimos. Artist Mikee Labash created the cover art for " how y'all doin..?.." and the "evil" cd and continues to support the band with his incredible r. crumb style underground artwork...check the new logo and tee shirt....
