Jac Kreemers, the Madder Lake drummer who played on the two signature albums ‘Still Point’ and ‘Butterfly Farm’, has passed away.

Madder Lake co-founder Brenden Mason announced the news on social media saying, “Sad news of the passing of Jac Kreemers, original drummer of Madder Lake. Luke, John, Kerry, Brenden, Michael, Drak, Andy, Ian, Tony, Colin & Steve send our sincere condolences to Jac’s family and friends. RIP Jac”.

Madder Lake formed in Melbourne in the late 60s and were one of the first bands signed to Mushroom Records. They appeared on the first Mushroom release, 1973’s ‘Sunbury Pop Festival’.

Their debut single ‘Goodbye Lollipop’ was released in 1973 and soon after the debut album ‘Stillpoint’ came out.

Madder Lake only released two albums in the 70’s ‘Stillpoint’ in 1973 and then ‘Butterfly Farm’ in 1974. A third album ‘World’ was released in 2013.
