The Bats

Show & Culture

New Zealand’s indie psych-pop band The Bats have been active with the same line-up since New Year's Eve 1982. One of New Zealand’s most enduring bands, they have built a global cult following with their bittersweet jangle-pop sound and gently affecting songwriting. Their latest album, "Corner Coming Up", offers a confident set of songs steeped in warmth, wistfulness, and fuzzed-out grace, staying true to the band's unique style. Support act: Autumn Sweater, whose music draws on 90s indie rock influences while borrowing from other genres for melodic and occasionally noisy songs that stand out.
