The Kiwi connection is strong! You Am I crossed the ditch to rock Auckland’s Big Day Out on four occasions throughout the 90s and 2000s, while bassist Andy Kent grew up in Wellington before moving to Australia aged 17.
Nearly three decades on from their first album release, You Am I have not only had one of the longest and most successful recording careers in Australia, but are also one of the most loved rock bands downunder (with 31 ARIA nominations with 10 wins, 3 #1 records, 2 Platinum and 3 gold records).
Their 11th studio album The Lives Of Others was released last month to rave reviews around the world and it debuted at No 2 in the Australian album charts.
Critics have noted that lovers of classic You Am I albums like Hi F
Way and Hourly, Daily will recognise the spirit, care and craft in the new material.
