Tonight Alright by Spiderbait
Tonight Alright is an album by Spiderbait, released in 2004. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Black Betty”, on 3 lists with a best position of #5.
Tonight Alright, Spiderbait's sixth album, arrived on 28 March 2004 through Universal Music Australia, and most of it was cut in Weed, California, with producer Sylvia Massy. The trio from Finley, New South Wales, bassist and singer Janet English, drummer and singer Kram and guitarist Whitt, crank it up here, going for big, loud alternative rock.
The monster was "Black Betty", a hard rock stomp through the old Lead Belly song that hits like a runaway train. It led off the album, gave the band its first number-one hit in Australia, and wound up on the soundtracks of the film Without a Paddle and the video game Need for Speed: Underground 2. The album climbed to 14 on the ARIA chart and went gold, and in May 2024 the band announced a 20th-anniversary tour and the record's first vinyl pressing.
