   About BAT

TrickMySpaceSite BAT Malc Battersby was given the nickname BAT when he worked at a Studio complex in London. At that time Malc was trading hours spent cleaning the studios for time in the recording and rehearsal studios with his band. Originally from a small farming village in NE England and touring the working mens club circuit with cover bands he moved to London to become an original music musician and learn the business the hard way. Sessions with 'Tubular Bells 'producer Tom Newman and 'Motorhead' producer Guy Bidmead lead Bat on to live gigs in and around London with a host of top musicians: Dolphin Taylor[Spear of Destiny], Ray Majors [ex Mott the Hoople] Paul Vigrass [The War of the Worlds] and others. After the successful release of a solo single ‘Angel’ which received good radio play on the UK’s Radio 1 station BAT set sail for gigs in Japan with a three piece ,where he found out how important it is signing contracts before leaving home. Needless to say he lost all of his gear ‘BUGGER’ Getting back to London he received a call from a friend working for The Sultan of Brunei asking him to fly out to Borneo and sort out some guitars for a new private collection. This ended up with him staying and playing session guitar for three TV special albums being recorded for the royal family in custom made high end SSL recording studios. Finally getting back on his feet and re-stocking his equipment BAT decided to make a clean start and head for a country where Rock was still raw- Australia. Working in Melbourne and his new home state of Tasmania, he discovered that his new style of Instrumental Rock music fitted perfectly with the lyrical songs and his need to let rip on the guitar every once in a while. BAT to date has written,played all instruments apart from drums and sax and produced four CD’s of deeply moving moods and grooves fronted by his natural guitar playing, and is looking forward to seeing many people worldwide get into BAT MUSIC and hear The Bat Band LIVE. LIVE the BAT BAND consists of Drums [ recorded by Cam Herbert], Baily May from Hobart on Sax. Session Bass and Keyboards are supplied by great guys Stormy on Bass and Phil Dearing on Keys.[Both Tasmanians] 'My music is not screaming angst yet it's got natural power.’ Categorised in the Prog. Rock genre by Radio stations in the USA who are playing BAT, the music remains a true mode of reflection for those who need to look away from the madness and see a different perspective. ‘See ya around’, Love BAT. www.malbat.com

After almost 10 years Adelaide’s very own NovaCaine have reformed & are ready to unleash themselves on the live circuit. During their time apart the line up kept busy on numerous solo & collaboration projects including Couldrum, The Inflatable Scooterz & Coil. The band would also like to promote the inclusion of Pete Gore joining the guys on drums to give new blood & innovation to a classic sound. See NovaCaine at various venues including the 12th December @ Enigma Bar (for the loving tongue - cd launch) along with shows on the 7th (happy sometimes & squid jag), and 28th November (underbelly & brail) at the Joiners Arms. Hope 2 see you there!!
