On this episode of Artist to Fan, Daniel Johnson is joined by Kram (Mark Maher) from iconic Australian alternative rock band Spiderbait.
Over the course of the band’s more than three-decade career, Spiderbait – which also includes bassist and co-vocalist Janet English and guitarist Damien “Whit” Whitty – have released seven studio albums, including Ivy and the Big Apples, The Unfinished Spanish Galleon of Finely Lake, Grand Slam, The Flight of Wally Funk, Tonight Alright and Spiderbait.
Some of their best-known songs include Buy Me a Pony, which was the first Australian song to come in at No.1 on the triple j Hottest 100 in 1996, Sam Gribbles, Monty, Calypso, Fucken Awesome, Glockenpop, Hot Water and Milk, and their cover of Black Betty, which reached No.1 on the ARIA singles chart.
Spiderbait have just released a new compilation called Sounds in the Key of J, a 33-track collection of Janet’s songs, and they are about to kick off their Tour in the Key of J run of shows in Launceston, Tasmania.
This setlist for this run of shows will be composed entirely of songs by Janet, including new single My Car is a UFO, and also includes dates in Hobart, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Fremantle, Adelaide and Camden.
In addition to playing in Spiderbait, Kram is also part of Australian Rock Collective, alongside Darren Middleton from Powderfinger, Davey Lane from You Am I and Mark Wilson from Jet.
