The Luxury Of Hysteria is the fourth solo album by the front band for Australian rock band You Am I, Tim Rogers, and his first to be credited solely to his name, although his backing band, The Temperance Union, did play on most tracks. The album was released on the 29 September, 2007. The only single from the album, "When Yer Sad", was released to radio and TV. Rogers actually created his own record label, Ruby Q, specifically to release this album, so he could remain free from any creative control issues.
A second exclusive disc was available from JB Hi-Fi Online, consisting of five live tracks from the 'A Gentleman's Agreement' tour.
The brief album launch tour in support of The Luxury Of Hysteria began on October 3, 2007 and last for approximately 1 month. The performance consisted of a 4 piece orchestra set, The Temperance Union and Louis Macklin on the keys. The tour brought a different experience to what fans of Tim Rogers were used to. Each show was brought to auditoriums in a sit-down, intimate event that allowed the album to be enjoyed. The shows were accompanied by visuals projected behind the band.
