Background notes
Archive material and source history
You Am I formed in Sydney in 1991 with Tim Rogers on vocals and guitar, Andy Kent on guitar, Mark Tunaley on bass, and Russell Hopkinson on drums. Their debut album 'Sound as Ever' came out in 1993 and got them noticed for a raw, energetic sound that drew comparisons to bands like The Replacements. They followed it with albums like 'Hi Fi Way' in 1995 and 'Hourly, Daily' in 1996.
The lineup shifted over time. Kent left in 2000, and Hopkinson departed in 2005. Davey Lane joined on drums around 2005, and Andy Campbell came in on bass around 2006. Kent returned in 2010. Through these changes, Rogers remained the constant frontman. They've put out about ten studio albums, including 'Dress Me Slowly' in 1998 and 'Convicts' in 2006, and have won several ARIA Awards.
Songs like 'Heavy Comfort,' 'Get Up,' and 'Thank God I've Hit The Bottom' show their knack for sharp, guitar-driven rock. They've worked with artists like Paul Kelly and built a reputation for intense live shows. While not a mainstream chart fixture, they've kept a loyal following in Australia's alternative scene.
