Seminal rockers You Am I proved worthy of their regular prefix as the “hardest working band in the Australia” on Friday at the Yallah Roadhouse, as well as the “hardest rocking”. Despite the fact that the venue was less than half booked, Tim Rogers and his gang of Convicts blazed through an amazingly energized set [...]
