Following on from their ARIA Top 20 album together as The Ferguson Rogers Process, Style And Or Substance, Tim Rogers and Lance Ferguson take it to the stage with a series of live launches.
To mark the occasion Lance Ferguson has reinvigorated the collaboration that started it all between him and Rogers, 2013’s “I Got Burned”. Christened as “The FRP Remix”, the smoky, Bluesy Funk of the original has been whisked away to the Balearic Islands circa 1983 with a surprising beachy Disco feel, a sound which perfectly complements the slinky Rock / Disco melange of Style And Or Substance. This is the first of two FRP remixes planned leading up to the live shows.
With a band lead by Ferguson and featuring members of The Bamboos and Melbourne Boogie maestros Mondo Freaks and with one of this country’s greatest ever showmen on vocals, these shows will be like nothing else Australian audiences have witnessed before.
“For me, there's a looseness in the Ferguson Rogers Process. Just in terms of the forms, it can get wild,” Ferguson said.
“We've already started mucking around with the songs, stretching out some, tightening others; just some pure, indulgent fun,” Rogers adds. “It did remind me of the two Bamboo tours that I've done, which were life-threatening fun.”
“Friends that I've had for ages who saw our first show said that it was just joy watching people dance, ‘cause it doesn't happen often at You Am I shows, at Hard-Ons shows” he continues.
“Playing something with dancing, you can just forget about the woes of this challenging world that continues to unfurl in challenging ways, and you're in a room with people and actually letting them just freak out for a bit. It's one of those times where you feel you're actually doing something completely worthwhile.”
