Immortal Youth band members were Elissa Johnson (keyboard bass) Orlando Gonzalez (drums) and Pat Nobody (guitar and vocals). After the Frontline Records release of these songs, Pat regrouped and started again as Nobody Special which included Frank Wesolek (aka Frank Black) on lead guitar, Tony Cena on drums, and Chris Kovacs (the Vax) on bass. Nobody Special put out their 2nd recording under the label Broken Records in 1989, which was re-released under the label Wretched Records in 1992. The band disbanded in 1990, reunited in 1996 and disbanded again in 1997. They reunited again in 2011, with the lineup of Pat Nobody, Frank Black, Rod Reasner and Dave Schad.
