Support LGBTQI+ Kids With Thirty Days of Yes

Some of the coolest acts in the country are joining forces to show their support for the Yes campaign and the nation’s LGBTQI+ community. They’ve lent their voices to Thirty Days of Yes, a subscription mixtape that will feature 30 songs released over 30 days.

The mixtape features songs from Cub Spot, Hockey Dad, Sui Zhen, Courtney Barnett, Jess Ribiero, Jen Cloher, The Murlocs, and heaps more. It’s also cheap as chips, costing just $15. However, if you want to give more to the cause you certainly can!

All of the profits will benefit LGBTQI+ youth organisations Minus18 and twenty10. That’s money well-spent in my book. Get yours from the Thirty Days of Yes Bandcamp page. And remember to send back those yes postal votes!

Kram Goes Solo

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.
