Spiderbait are three friends from a small Australian country town, who took on the music scene and have emerged triumphantly thirty years later as one of the nation’s best rock bands.

“The atmosphere was electric” – Australian Musician

“a show of epic proportions” – Xpress Mag

“surging, almost epileptic energy that was sustained throughout a nearly two-hour show, Spiderbait's incredible legacy was on full display” – Scenestr

Widely regarded as a defining moment in Australian alternative rock, Spiderbait’s third studio album, Ivy & the big apples, marked a major breakthrough for the band. The record debuted in the ARIA Top 3, went Double Platinum, and stayed in the Top 50 for nearly a year — a testament to its enduring impact and the strength of singles like ‘Calypso’ and ‘Hot Water & Milk’.

Featuring standout track ‘Buy Me A Pony’, which became the first Australian song to take the crown in triple j’s prestigious Hottest 100, the record captured the raw, youthful spirit of the time while pushing the boundaries of the local music scene. A fearless mix of punk, pop and alternative rock, the album cemented Spiderbait as one of Australia’s most important bands of the 90’s.

Australian rock ‘n roll royalty, and with a catalogue of music that’s distinctive and uncompromising, Spiderbait’s anticipated Ivy & the big apples 30^th Anniversary Tour will see the band playing songs from their seminal album plus favourites from their extensive catalogue – Don’t miss out!
