Spiderbait -- Checking them Out

[Ken]

Okay, these guys are legendary for the most kickass cover of Black Betty ever recorded: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtqjmuUaYXA

I picked up a few albums and have been checking them out. So far Black Betty is a stylistic singularity. The other stuff is much more pop...but not what I've come to expect from pop music.


So far it's really cool and I'm enjoying digging into it, but I'm not quite certain how I feel about it. Definitely surprised how much they DON'T sound like that Black Betty cover.

This will get you started: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b1ogSS2ajg
And the related links on that will keep you going for a while. Kind of a fuzzy retro pop almost?

The chick vocalist is the bass player...
