Over the course of two decades, You Am I have gone from a sometimes misspelled name at the bottom of the bill at rock haunts around Sydney and Melbourne to one of the most respected and beloved bands ever to come out of this sunburnt country of ours.
But it was in a cramped studio deep in Bushwick, New York City where You Am I hunkered down to make a start on their tenth studio album, which is now ready to be unleashed on their eager fans. It’s called Porridge & Hotsauce and it’s another head rush from Tim Rogers and co.
The first taste from the album is called ‘Good Advices’, a song Tim says was inspired “a few years ago when we were given the opportunity to look back at some records we had done a while back. Whilst it was a blast, havin’ a peak behind us only compelled us to leap foolishly into the future.”
“‘Good Advices’ is about throwing away the script and clinging to your imagination as the only guide,” explains the Australian rock legend. “We’ve trusted our wits so far, and if it got us here, this hopped up and rarin’ to go, our wits done good.”
As You Am I fans know, the band’s natural habitat is the stage and no album release would be complete without a tour to accompany if not outright christen it, so this October, November, and December, You Am I will be hitting the road for a massive set of tour dates around the country.
