With the night now popping up in both Sydney and Brisbane, I Oh You show no signs of slowing down their boogie locomotive (sick song name, no one steal it…). With a blog up and running with a Things We Froth section, (not to mention growing into one of the biggest indie labels in the country) the guys are effortlessly supplying Australia with some of the most scrumptious morsels of music in the bloggosphere.
