Following on from debut single “Live Together” and teaser Melbourne show at the start of August, Tim Rogers and Lance Ferguson have announced the release of Substance And Or Style, the first album from The Ferguson Rogers Process, to be released on Friday, November 15th via Impressed Recordings.

As a further taster, they’ve just released a second single, “Dirty-Clean”. Leaning even more heavily into their take on Disco, it’s an indication of the glitter-in-the-gutter mind set behind the album. Urging us all to get off the sofa, Rogers reminds that you that to get things done, one just needs to get in amongst it and not worry about the mess that ensues. Because, as he puts it, “the sink is your shrink”.  

Rogers and Ferguson both felt it was well overdue to make music again. After first meeting and hitting it off backstage at a Melbourne concert they sparked off each other with numerous favourite records in common. A short time later Rogers guested on The Bamboos track “I Got Burned” in 2012, which then went on to become one of the biggest Australian tracks of that year. Two sold out national tours and an acclaimed album (The Rules Of Attraction) ensued. But when the two of them finally reconnected, the new music that came together didn’t feel right sitting under the Tim Rogers & The Bamboos banner. The literal instance that the name The Ferguson Rogers Process came to mind, and was swiftly settled upon, was captured on camera (and you can see it here), with Tim and Lance talking just before a photoshoot.  Drawing on different touchstones than The Bamboos, The Ferguson Rogers Process is where Disco discovers that it can get dirty, and Rock finds its groove.
