now with more snow domes than ever!

you am i = the reason I ever thought it was a good idea to play in a band.

take that as you will.

that video is very funny

you am i = the reason I ever thought it was a good idea to play in a band.

take that as you will.

They did the same for me...also take that as you will.

You Am I are in the Meredith Music Festival film "A Weekend In The Country", playing at melbourne film festival in August.

YOU AM I ON THE BIG SCREEN!

Oooh, that sounds innaresting!

So did Davey play at splendour?? he left half way throught he gig at Dee WHy on Saturday looking seriously ill...

actually the whole Dee Why gig had a weird vibe - anyone know what was up with the band??

but it was still pretty good.

there was an edge to it, a weird edge.

how were they @ dee why?

tim is very proud of that tattoo isn't he, do your shirt up for fucks sake

what do u mean weird vibe?

suburban show, bogans, tim very quickly changed from being charming to nasty and back again.

maybe they should only play inner city venues hehehehe JOKING

would have saved me the trip out into the provincials.

it was weird.. the between song chatter started out great - the wshow had a really greta vibe... but there seemed to be a problem with Tim's montior mix and he was gettinga bit shitty about it and that flew on to getting a bit shitty and certain parts of the crowd.. then it really blew up during the solo acoustic set when someone yelled out "we love you tim" and he responded with a devastated "well if you love me then give me back my daughter"... from then on in the whole night was weird.... Davey only came back for one song looking completely pale and ill... he walked off again.. then the three piece played Can't Explain and Trike to fill in time.... guitar tech let htem know that davey wasn't coming back.. from then on... the whole set was weird... after most songs there was a hundle of conversation between tim, andy and rusty sorting out what to do.. and tim was going from happy to be playing and really picking up the slack to being really depressed between songs.. including saying at one point "i'm sorry - whenever i start talking between songs I hate myself". it was really weird. Davey looked really bad when he was on for purple sneakers so i hope he recovered okay...

on the other hand - it is the tail end of a really long tour..

but yeah no encore - just a really long set.. that included a bunch of things that i hadn't heard in a while.. and a really loose three piece set which was great but strange at the same time.

there were definite issues going on with the sound on stage and stuff and dave not being there.

but yeah... I'm glad I was there... for everything that happened they really did play amazingly well.

i'm glad i saw the three piece, i'd never seen it before.

hahaha u sound like a Brit when talkin about aussies as "colonials"

provincials dude, provincials.

davey got taken to hospital. anyone know if tey played splendour?

taken to hospital?? really?? what was wrong?? do you know if he was okay?? how did you here that??

Totally worth it though for a stellar night's entertainment.

Incredibly loose show at the Annandale last night...covered Creedence (sang by Andy who has a fucking incredible voice,) Rusty sang on Planet of the Apes with Dave on drums...they had a fuckin good time. As did I. Great night.

damo11 said about 2 months ago:

Wow it's been 5 years since Friends Like You was released. Time goes fast. One of the few bands left that haven't lost it.

loader is still better

Which Creedence song? And yes, Andy does have a great voice - should sing more songs.

Fortunate Son. Andy needs a mock classic rock side project.

Cool!

What's Andy's voice like?

Can he belt out a Creedence tune like Fogerty?

I've seen so many You Am I gigs but never heard a peep outta the guy except for some backing vocals that weren't very audible cuz the band are cracking loud in the best way.

I wanna here Andy sing!

*hear

He belted out that chorus like nobody's business...genuinely quite surprising, that kind of subtle growl and everything. Severely under-utilised!

Fortunate Son. Andy needs a mock classic rock side project.

The Temperance Union were turning into a mock classic rock side project last time I saw them.

so i got this email back today about the possibility of you am i's back catalogue making an appeaance on wax..and it was from mr andy kent himself!

Joe,

keep your eyes peeled sir.

Management
THE YOU AM I SET PTY LTD

I wouldn't be against that.

And not before time.

my hopes for these releases:

180 gram 2 LP per album coloured vinyl
remastering and matbe a bit of a sonic tweak
couple of album era b sides tacked on the end
nice new liner notes.

i don't care about the vinyl.

i want em in fancy deluxe edition cds like the suede and smashing pumpkins were released this year - two cds plus a dvd.

I want a new record, the last one was aces...
