Tonight You Am Identical

Here’s how great minds think.
Last March, Gary Miller of SeattlePowerpopBlog ran a You Am I Day, in which he spoke with a number of local rock heroes about their undying affection for the Australian rock band You Am I.
This week, Barbara Mitchell wrote a story for in the paper in which she spoke with a number of rock heroes about their undying affection for the same band.
Gary pointed out the similarity earlier this week; on the road in Australia, Barbara explains that it’s a coincidence, noting that her story was inspired when she hung with a bunch of Seattleites at You Am I’s SXSW showcase and then noticed how many the same musicians were at the last You Am I show in Seattle. Not surprisingly, many of these were some of the same folks that Gary had already spoken to.
Props to Gary and SeattlePowerpop for coming up with a great idea. And let us not forget the true moral of this story: You Am I totally rocks.
They open for Silverchair tonight at the Showbox. The show’s sold out.
actually, the only rocker gary and i had in common was greg from the small change. and i am totally gutted that i'm in australia while my favorite aussie band is rocking the northwest!
"totally gutted"--barbara, youve gone totally aussie. get yourself back to the northwest, fair dinkum.
