Featuring guitarist and vocalist Tim Rogers along with band mates Russell Hopkinson on drums, Andy Kent on Bass, and (since 1999) Davey Lane on guitar, You Am I have released Ten studio albums to date. Their last studio album was the 2015 critically acclaimed “Porridge & Hot Sauce” release. Three of their releases have debuted at number one on the ARIA charts in consecutive order – 1995’s “Hi Fi Way”, 1996’s “Hourly, Daily” and 1998’s “#4 Record” – with the Albums also receiving multiple Platinum and Gold status for commercial sales. The band have won a total of Ten ARIA Awards including Album of the year, Best Group, and Best Independent Release. 2013 saw You Am I reissue remastered versions of their first three albums, “Sound As Ever”, “Hi Fi Way” and “Hourly Daily”, complete with extra tracks including never-before-released live material, Demo’s, alternate versions and B’sides. In support of these releases You Am I presented live performances of “Hourly Daily” and “Hi Fi Way” back-to-back in a lush theatre-styled extravaganza. You Am I sold over 10,000 tickets in Sydney and Melbourne alone, and this sold out run of national shows proved to be one of the most successful tours in the bands long and illustrious career. 2017 was a busy year for Tim Rogers with a pile of You Am I touring, and the release of his first book ‘Detours’ to critical acclaim. The band also released a live album “All Onboard” in December 2017 which was recorded in venues across Australia over 10 shows on their co-headline tour with Hoodoo Gurus. The 16 tracks just happened to be recorded in deep regional areas like Wagga Wagga, Wollongong, Traralgan and Canberra, and the album was available digitally and on vinyl. Aside from musical exploits the band made their first-time foray into the beverage world in 2013 with the production of their own ”Brew Am I" beer in conjunction with the Young Henry Brewery. In addition to success in Australia, You Am I have released a number of albums internationally, and toured worldwide headlining shows across North America and Europe.

Nealo began his journey into hip hop music in 2018. Having fronted the hardcore punk band, Frustration, for 8 years and touring both the United States and Europe multiple times, Irish MC Nealo began to look into other avenues for writing lyrics. After a tragic start to the year, the Blanchardstown native channeled his negativity and sadness through lyricism, and has truly found a comfortable home in hip hop. His debut release October Year dropped in October 2018 to a huge reception and gained praise from fans and critics alike. One such was Nialler 9 writing, "An Irish MC with a difference, remember the name". October Year garnered radio play from 2FM, SPIN, and 98FM, and the record was also featured in District Magazine and on 'The New Eire'  Spotify playlist. This was followed with a record release headliner which sold out in under a week.

JOHN POWER Wednesday, October 2nd Doors: 7:30PM Tickets €18.50 - http://bit.ly/John-Power-Tickets In addition to a flourishing solo career, John Power had the distinction of being a member of two iconic British bands of the 1980s and '90s, the La's and Cast. Born in Liverpool, England, in 1967, Power was 19 years old when he formed a band with fellow Liverpudlian Lee Mavers; that band would become the La's, one of the most legendary U.K. acts of the '80s, who released a top-selling album in 1990 but were also fabled for their striking live shows and the eccentricities of Mavers, who was never able to reproduce his grand musical vision in the recording studio.

In 1992, Power became frustrated with the slow progress of the La's' second album and wanted an outlet for his own songs. Leaving Mavers and company and moving from bass to guitar, Power formed Cast; while they lacked the critical acclaim of fellow Britpop bands such as Oasis and Blur, Cast's powerful, straight-ahead rock approach clicked with audiences, and their 1995 debut, All Change, became the fastest-selling debut album in the history of the venerable Polydor label.

Cast's second and third albums, 1997's Mother Nature Calls and 1999's Magic Hour, both went Top Ten in the U.K., but 2001's Beetroot was a massive commercial disappointment, and in 2002 Power broke up the band. In 2003, Power released his first solo album, a deeply personal acoustic set called Happening for Love, but the disc attracted few listeners and in 2005 Power rejoined the La's when Lee Mavers opted to reunite the band for a series of festival appearances.

While continuing to work with the La's, Power resumed his solo career in 2006, releasing an album of hard-stomping folk-rock, Willow She Weeps, in the fall of that year and supporting the set with a tour of the U.K.
