About Spacey Jane
Hailing from Fremantle, Western Australia, Spacey Jane burst onto the scene in 2016, quickly carving out a niche with their distinctive blend of indie rock and pop sensibilities. Comprising Caleb Harper (vocals, guitar), Ashton Le Cornu (guitar), Peppa Lane (bass), and Kieran Lama (drums), the band’s chemistry is palpable, both on record and live. Their sound is characterised by Harper’s earnest, often melancholic vocals, layered over intricate guitar riffs, driving basslines, and dynamic drumming, creating an overall feel that is both nostalgic and refreshingly contemporary. They’ve drawn comparisons to acts like The Strokes and Phoenix, yet maintain a uniquely Australian flavour.
Their debut album, “Sunlight,” released in 2020, was a breakout success, featuring beloved tracks like “Booster Seat” and “Feeding the Family,” which resonated deeply with a generation navigating the complexities of young adulthood. This was followed by the equally acclaimed “Here Comes Everybody” in 2022, solidifying their status as a major player in the indie landscape with hits such as “Sitting Up” and “Hardlight.” Spacey Jane’s appeal lies in their ability to craft catchy, sun-drenched tunes that belie profound lyrical depth, tackling themes of love, loss, and self-discovery with remarkable honesty. Their journey from local heroes to international sensations has been swift and well-deserved, built on a foundation of consistent quality and an authentic connection with their growing fanbase.
