THE BARKING SPIDERS set to play first show in 35 years!

3 min read

Shrouded in mystery, rarely seen or heard, the legendary five-piece Australian rock band The Barking Spiders has announced a special one-off performance at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on Wednesday, 28 February 2018.

This will be the band’s first public gig in 35 years.

Choosing to never do interviews, photo-shoots or videos, the identity of The Barking Spiders remains “a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma” as a famous commentator once described them.

The Barking Spiders myth and legend has only grown deeper and darker over the years; despite the fact that the band has never even released a studio album. Preferring to play small, secret shows, in 1984 they released their one and only album, a live album The Barking Spiders Live 1983 which has gone on to be hailed as an Australian classic.

Many have rumoured that The Barking Spiders are actually a famous band who originated in Adelaide in the 1970s (who cannot be named for legal reasons), but these rumours have never been confirmed or proven. The fact that members of The Barking Spiders and the Adelaide five-piece (who cannot be named for legal reasons) have never appeared on the same bill has continued to fuel speculation of a link (and even a conspiracy), but both bands have always maintained a strict ‘no comment’ policy on this sensitive, potentially poisonous topic.

This web of intrigue will be resolved inside the four walls of the Enmore Theatre on Wednesday, 28 February.  This rare performance is sure to sell-out in a heartbeat.  To avoid being left standing on the outside, get your tickets quickly.

The Barking Spiders will be supported by emerging Sydney three-piece The Dead Love, who have signed binding NDA agreements, preventing them from making any comment.
