Kram Offers Words of Wisdom Ahead of uncharTED Grand Final

Kram burst onto the Aussie music scene as the drummer for indie darlings Spiderbait. Now he’s making waves with his solo career, and on Thursday July 9 he’ll headline the uncharTED Grand Final at Sydney’s Oxford Art Factory. krammic

Kram says competitions like it “are always worth supporting as they give bands a chance for people to check them out and maybe win some dollars, which always helps.”

While these comps often help artists “make it big,” Kram says that should never be the end goal.

“Honestly, don’t try and make it big,” he advises. “You’ll smell of it a mile off. Just make the best music you can and try to do your own thing. Don’t care too much and hope for some luck.”

These nights always have winners and losers, but Kram says it doesn’t really matter which side you’re on.
“Winning is great but losing is not too bad either. I mean you’re playing music not shovelling shit and life is short so good luck to all!”
