You Am I will channel Spinal Tap for their upcoming tour ‘The Majesty of Tap’.
In a statement Tim Rogers explained, “One out of every four and a half interviews has included the question ‘Have you ever had a Spinal Tap moment?’. Well sweet lord, any band worth their talc has, and we, whether on talc or not, have had more ‘Tap moments’ than liquid dinners! So, we have thrown down the gauntlet, unto ourselves, under the auspices of Montgomery Glitterbest the Third our perfectly adequate manager: why not have ONE BIG SPINAL TAP moment. And then do it again… The sounds and the smells of Tap done by our band (the looks are yours to fuss with). We love the songs of Tap, they speak of the mighty, meaty and manky elements of the Majesty Of Rock. Hip hip hooray, and so say all of us. TAP INTO AUSTRALIA!”
The Majesty of Tap tour will feature the music of Spinal Tap and no doubt the occasional Spinal Tap line.
Spinal Tap’s Harry Shearer last performed Spinal Tap’s ‘Big Bottom’ in Australia with his wife Judith Owen in 2016.
