Batching It is a one-man punk-rock cover band featuring Rob Ivey, a San
Francisco East Bay musician. Hailing from Vallejo, CA, Rob was
previously in Vallejo bands Bottomdawg and The V-Town Have-Nots , and
also played drums in Diabolical Exploits with veteran punk-rock
producer Andy Ernst, who has produced such notable bands as Green Day,
Rancid, and AFI.
The name 'Batching It' is short for 'batcheloring it', or 'going it
alone', which perfectly describes the philosophy behind the project.
After many years of not being in a band, Rob's nostalgia kicked in and
he decided that it was time to make a cover album of influential
bands/songs, songs and bands that inspired him to become a musician in
his teenage years. The first Batching It project, due out in the Fall
of 2009 on Leficit Records, is called 'Homage' - a self-explanatory
title. Rob wanted to pay tribute to these bands and songs by
reintroducing them to the new generation, and covered in Rob's personal
favorite styles.
Recorded at the legendary Art of Ears studio in Hayward, CA by Andy
Ernst, and produced by Mike Lawson of Leficit Records, 'Homage' is a
15-track nod to, in Rob's opinion, 15 awesome bands: NOFX, Skankin'
Pickle, Swingin' Utters, Pearl Jam, Rancid, Lagwagon, Metallica,
Sublime, No Use For a Name, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, No Doubt, The
Descendents, Less Than Jake, and Operation Ivy. Crossing rock genres,
just like Rob's personal tastes, 'Homage' should have something for everyone.

this is so rads man, Ive always wanted to record a cover album, you went and did it, and WELL done man/ so, the question on my mind, how will you promote it ?
This is the first chance ive had to check your shit.. pretty good broseph! i think its kinda bizzzzare that in my last band, which you can find on my top friends, The FINITE, we cover REEKO, which isnt posted, but it sounded more like the original. your version is a nice twist. I also have a video on my site, if you look under my videos, of an acoustic version of ON THE OUTSIDE! Umm... & back in the day, we used to do a cover of FREEZE UP as well.. so it looks like you picked some good ones! I enjoyed them. but why is SUBLIMe not in your top friends??
Yes, please let me know, when the CD is out. I'm really looking forwad to buy one. But can you tell me what effect makes your bass sound's like that? Amazing stuff. I've got the zoom bass effects pedal b1, maybe i can create a similar sound with it. Do you got any hints? So far. Thanks for the great covers aaand...high five!
Thanks for the add. I've listened to the whole album Homage. I realy love it! Favourite songs: rotten banana legs, animosity, don't push, freeze up, black, short on ideas...damnit! I love tham all! :D I'm a bass player too. Such a wonderfull sound....just....awesome!!! Really great stuff!! thanks for the music! and greetz from germany
