Mistletone

Mistletone proudly presents The Bats, darlings of the New Zealand indie pop scene on their return tour following last year’s sold out shows. The Bats are flagbearers for the legacy of the Dunedin/Flying Nun sound, yet their new music is vital and sparkling as ever. The band has never broken up and is touring in the original lineup of Robert Scott, Paul Kean, Kaye Woodward and Malcolm Grant. The Bats’ latest album The Guilty Office (now in its second pressing on Mistletone and available locally through Inertia) was deemed “as fine a collection of songs from the pen of Robert Scott as there ever was”, and last year’s full-house shows won glowing reviews and adoring fans. Don’t miss the triumphant return of The Bats, at the most apropos time of the ANZAC long weekend.

“With zero line-up changes in over 25 years, the polish displayed here was bordering on ridiculous. Yet the poise of the quartet gave away little as to the intricacy and complexities of the arrangements – they made it look like they were painting the fence… A gleeful trip down memory lane” – INPRESS LIVE REVIEW 2009

THE BATS: Sunday April 25 @ East Brunswick Club with special guests Ross McLennan & The New World Sympathique, Milk Teddy + DJ Frankie Teardrop.
