The story of Spiderbait is so fantastical it could only be based in truth: three friends from a small country town taking on the Australian music scene on their own terms and emerging triumphant 25 years later, the friendships unscathed but their band one of the biggest and best on the national scene.
As brash and confident as they are strange and uncompromising, the three founding members of Spiderbait – Janet, Whitt and Kram – started humbly in the rural NSW township of Finley, the fervent music lovers taking inspiration from everything from Slayer to The Bangles and meshing into one intoxicating and unique brew.
Racking up pretty much every accolade there is to achieve on the Australian scene, having taken home numerous ARIA Awards, chalked up a number one single (their 2004 cover of Leadbelly’s Black Betty - Edit) and even topped the prestigious triple j Hottest 100 (for Buy Me A Pony, 1996).
Their distinctive music and cheeky arrangements make Spiderbait difficult to pigeonhole, the rock’n’roll royals’ unique stylings allowing them to share stadiums with everyone from the Beastie Boys to Cold Chisel and totally dominate.
There’s no resting on their laurels for the hard-working three-piece. With plenty more chapters to write in the Spiderbait story, it’s impossible to know what exactly will happen next, but you know it will be achieved by three great mates and soundtracked by music that’s catchy & uncompromising. Stay tuned!
