The totally fuckin' awesome Australian band You Am I have just released a new album. If you haven't heard of them, you are not alone. The Boston Globe called them The Best Australian Band You've Never Heard Of last year.I tell people that they are the Australian Replacements. I don't throw out compliments like that very often. They are really good. In Australia, their last three albums debuted at #1, and they play with the likes of The Who and The Rolling Stones.
In the US, they have to settle for blog posts from the likes of me. You Am I have just released their album, Convicts (purchase here), in the US. They have a very brief US tour beginning in March in Minneapolis. I have been trying to get them to come to Omaha, but they do not have a free date on this current tour. Damn.
