Origins & Sound

  • Formed in 1989 in Finley, NSW by Janet English (bass/vocals), Kram (drums/vocals), and Damian “Whitt” Whitty (guitar) 

  • Their breakthrough came in 1996 with Ivy and the Big Apples, peaking at No. 3 and earning 2× Platinum 

Signature Moment

  • Their cover of “Black Betty” (2004) hit No. 1 and marked decades of enduring popularity—streaming and touring the track with unfiltered energy and cheek 

Live Dynamism

  • Live shows are kinetic: dual vocals, shifting instruments, and pure eruption of sound—“Fucken Awesome,” “Buy Me a Pony” or “Black Betty” don’t just play, they assault the senses
