Kieran Lama is the drummer and founding member of Spacey Jane, one of Australia’s most successful indie rock exports of the past decade. Originally formed in Western Australia, the band has grown from playing backyard shows in Fremantle to selling out iconic venues across North America, including Brooklyn Steel, First Avenue, The Fillmore, and the 9:30 Club.
Alongside his role in the band, Kieran also works in artist management and has played a key role in navigating Spacey Jane’s international growth alongside setting the pace for soon-to-be global headliners Phoebe Go and Polly. Fresh off major festival appearances and an expanding presence in the US, he joins Adam today from Hollywood, California, to talk about building an Australian band from the ground up and taking it to the world.
