"Kick a Hole in the Sky" is the third and final single from the album Dress Me Slowly by Australian rock band You Am I. It was released in 2001 and reached number 56 in that year's Hottest 100.[1]
Reception
David James Young of Junkee wrote, "With Davey Lane officially on board, the best-known line-up of the band was officially cemented with the release of Dress Me Slowly. "Hole in the Sky" cements Lane as a perfect sideman to Rogers’ energy, with all respect to Andy Kent — his harmonies in the chorus send it from good to great, while his solo later in the piece is an absolute ripper."[2]
