Kram Goes Solo
January 7, 2009 by lkatulka
Spiderbait singer and drummer Kram is preparing to release a solo album called Mixtape.
It is an appropriate name from the album, which aims to be as eclectic as an old-fashioned mixtape.
“I wanted it to be like a radio station where all the songs sound like different bands even though it’s all played by one person… The premise of the whole album was to be constantly changing your approach musically,” Kram said in a statement.
Don’t think this spells the end for Spiderbait. The band has not released a studio album since 2004’s Tonight Alright, but they’re still popping up on the live scene. They played a New Years Eve show in Melbourne, and will next be seen at Brisbane’s Here and Now festival in January and the Coconet Classic Surf Festival over Easter.
The first single from the release, “Silk Suits,” is currently streaming at Kram’s MySpace page. You can also get a free download of the song “Outer Space” from the MySpace or Kram’s homepage. Look out for Mixtape in stored in March.
