PLEASE NOTE: The band is very busy touring, writing, recording or... doing the washing. So they can't always be on the page, but Tim, Andy, Davey & Rusty send big thanks to you for all of your continued support... And when the washing machine is on overload, team YOU AM I is always on hand, ready to step in to make sure that you're all kept up to date with the bands' latest breaking music and news.

Drum Media, Beat and Timeoff Present........
You Am I have spent the last year touring across Australia and all over the US in support of the US release of ‘Convicts.’
3 tours, 57’000 km’s, 2600 guitar strings, a millions dollars in diesel, god knows how many rider sandwiches and watery US beer, lots of old friends, new friends, fans...and 4 tired souls.
But in the name of true grit and sweet music, as always You Am I remain true to the old adage that sleeping is for amateurs. Rest? Stop? What? Pfffft.
As we speak they are laying it down as only they can, yes friends, aside from various projects from TR solo (nice record Tim), to
drums for Radio Birdman, to guitar for Crowded House, to digging, the guys are right now putting the finishing touches on the next You Am I album. Yep, they've been virtually living in the studio, surviving on a steady diet of cigarettes, whiskey, good rockin' times, sheer deliriousnessnessness, and of course, cheese, ham and tomato baguettes (please do not try this at home)....Australia's most respected, feared and revered rock'n'roll larrikins and lovers are working balls to the wall to bring to you what just may be their most heartfelt and rocking album yet, jam packed and full to the hat brim of sweat-soaked raw, raucous, tasty tunes. So start savin' up your pocket money, get yerselves all spruced up and lace up those faithful ole' swanky toe tappers in preparation for the imminent delivery of the next epic release from the unswayable and undiluted genius that is You Am I.
Until then, God Bless the lot of us.
