   About BAT
Bat is me, Malc Battersby,originally from England and now living in Tasmania,Australia I've been giggin' round for a year or three in different guises playing Rock/New Age/Blues/Electric Folk guitar and I decided to do a live amalgam of all these styles in the form of BAT which comes under the heading of INSTRUMENTAL ROCK ART . Got together a bunch of most excellent talents to play instrumental and powerful renditions of my three solo albums 'Shades' and 'Deeper Shades' 'All This Time' Available on cdbaby.com http://cdbaby.com/cd/bat http://cdbaby.com/cd/bat2 http://cdbaby.com/cd/bat3 THERE IS A NEW ALBUM 'SONGS FROM THE DARK WOOD' JUST BEING PRESSED UP AT THE MOMENT [very different approch with lyrics this time aswell as some quality BAT Instrumentals. This will also be available from CD Baby but a new feature allows you to download individual tracks for all BAT tunes and so make your own BAT album. COOOOL We've done a load of gigs now to warm it up and the show looks great...live projected images, moving lights, meaty PA. Yep it's really a live gig band thing to get the full effect. Other than gigging here in Australia we're looking to play anywhere in the world and try for sountrack release aswell. View my VIDEO clip for a snip of the live thing. You will need to download the latest flash player version 9 I think. It's a 6 piece band with Sax, Keys,2 Guitars, Bass, Drums, I use three main guitars Strat, Les Paul, Takamine Acoustic and run a stereo Vox AC30 rig with a TC G Major FX unit on the loop. Cam the Drummer is a Yamaha 9000 man although he plays Pearl on the odd days. Phil's keyboards are fairly minimal with Roland 2080 midi and EMU keys. Bails on the Sax keeps the men on their toes as she bounces around the stage [pulling out my AC on one night just before the last number]

Good day! Is it possible for you to throw The Sun/The Moon/The Stars on a cd for $10? I'm bitching to get my paws on a copy of the three, but haven't the money for the CD's at present >_<.

I'd suggest The Brisbane, but it's not so big there.
Never been to The Republic, could be good?
