Kram, Whitt and Janet will be throwing back to 1996, playing their third record Ivy and the Big Apples in full – all 16 tracks of it – including some tunes that have never before been played live.
The album spawned chart-topping single Buy Me A Pony, which took out the #1 spot in the 1996 triple j Hottest 100, making Spiderbait the first Australian band to ever do so. Then came one of Spiderbait’s biggest hits, Calypso which dominated airwaves and elevated the group to a new level.
“When Buy Me A Pony won the triple J Hottest 100 on Australia Day 1997, making us the first Australian band to do so, I remember feeling not only happy for the band, but happy for us Australian music lovers who now regarded their own just as highly as they rated anything from overseas,” said Whitt.
