AllMusic | [1] |
Ivy and the Big Apples is the third studio album by Australian rock band Spiderbait. It became a double platinum-selling record that reached the top 10 of the albums chart in Australia and won the 1997 ARIA Award for Best Alternative Release.[2] It features the single "Buy Me a Pony", which was voted in at number one on the Triple J Hottest 100, 1996. The third single "Calypso" peaked at number 13 on the Australian singles chart[3] and was notably featured in the movie 10 Things I Hate About You, despite not being included on the soundtrack. Speaking to Double J in 2016, English explained that the group’s success was as surprising as it was improbable. “We were a pretty unlikely hit band,” English explained. “[We had] two singers and this genre spread where people couldn’t quite pin down what we were doing.”
