Spiderbait Touring New Album ‘Sounds In The Key Of J’

After treating punters at Groovin The Moo earlier this year and reconnecting with fans in Tasmania this month, Spiderbait will continue to celebrate their latest album with a run of national tour dates from early July.

The trio’s run of shows in support of Sounds In The Key Of J, fitting titled Tour In The Key Of J, will make its way to Sydney before taking on Melbourne, Brisbane, Fremantle and Adelaide.

It also marks Spiderbait’s first headline tour since their sellout Ivy & The Big Apples effort in 2017.

“Janet’s songs are special. And over the past 30 years she’s written so many beautiful ones, but also others that hit you like a lighting bolt,” Kram said.

“The Key Of J tour will be a unique show - like nothing we’ve done before – it’ll be us celebrating Janet’s work in Spiderbait, and also the release of the double album collection of her songs Sounds in the Key of J.

“We can’t wait for this tour to start and to perform so many of her songs live - for me personally, it’ll be very moving, and to quote Janet directly… fucken awesome!”

Janet added: “Kram was going on about the compilation idea – and initially, I said 'hell no’. I kinda said 'OK' to shut him up… And here we are! It’s been a tough few years and music really got me through the lockdowns.

“I still can’t quite believe we’ll be out touring again soon and for The Key Of J tour, I’m super humbled and slightly terrified. I’ve missed that energy and that connection live music makes, being part of that exchange is one of the most amazing privileges.”

Sounds In The Key Of J was released in April, with Spiderbait taking us track by track through the epic compilation; their first album in nine years. You can read the full track by track here and find tickets and more details on the Tour In The Key Of J shows here.
