Kram, Whitt and Janet come from a small rural town in New South Wales called Finley. The band formed in 1989 in melbourne. Spiderbait are primalary a Punk rock band but in some releases there is also a bit of reggae and funk in there music.
There debut album shasahvaglava, croation for stupid head, dick head or idiot head was released around 1993 some time. The two years or so before this saw there first single cirkle k and then a year after that the ep "P'TangYangKipperBangUh" was realleased. This ep contained one of spiderbaits most well known songs at the time "old man sam". "Old man sam" was played a lot on request at triple J when it was first released.
It took spiderbait a few years to produce there next album called "The unfinished Spanish Galleon of Finley Lake" After That it was "Ivy and the big apples" this album is excelent. If you haven't already got it, turn off your computer and go get it now!
Other Aussie band sites have said this all before but it needs to be said again.
Australian bands are not just Silverchair and human nature. There is a lot more talent that needs exposure,
and that is what I dedicate my site to the exposure of spiderbait.
There are many other great spiderbait pages, so go check them out in my link's section.
