As we head towards the end of our first season, we’ve unlocked the Theatre Thoughts vault and brought out an episode we’ve had stashed away for a while. Back in January we sat down with Kram, the Drummer and vocalist for ‘Spiderbait’ one of Australia’s most successful and respected alternative rock bands to discuss the creation of the Australian Rock Collective.

ARC were due to perform a one-night show at the Night at the Barracks performance before being postponed due to Covid. Listen to Kram talk about his love for the music and entertainment industry as he reveals that live music and theatre may have more in common than you think!

Kram shares all things rock, tells me about his love for The Beatles and what makes them the greatest band in history, as well as shares his own passions for theatre.
