The Barking Spiders - The Legendary Five-Piece Returns
Gnarly five-piece mystery supergroup, The Barking Spiders have announced a special one-off gig at Anita's Theatre in Thirroul next Wednesday, October 2.
The Barking Spiders' legend has grown deeper and more venomous over the years, despite the fact that the band has never entered a recording studio or done a single interview. Preferring to play small, semi-secret live shows, their only album - The Barking Spiders Live 1983 – has gone on to be hailed as an Australian classic.
Clusters of nefarious critics have rumoured that The Barking Spiders are actually a famous band that originated in Adelaide in the 1970s, but these rumours have never been confirmed. Both bands have maintained a strict "no comment" policy on this sensitive topic. Neither band has been seen in the same venue at the same time. No photos exist of the Spiders. We cannot even mention the name of the famous five-piece that has sometimes been cited as 'sharing members' with the Barking Spiders as the Spiders have been hit with numerous lawsuits, injunctions and cease & desist moves from the famous Adelaide-born band.
This latest web of insectival intrigue will be woven at the intimate Anita's Theatre in the beautiful beachside suburb of Thirroul on Wednesday Oct 2. It'll be a night of arachnophobic anarchy - get ready Thirroul.
