Beloved Kiwi indie OG stars The Bats have crossed the ditch for the first time in 9 years and are currently charming audiences up and down the east coast of Aus with their beloved blend of poppy, jangly and South Island NZ sounds. To mark the occasion we set off on a journey of our own  exploring the songwriting talents of The Bats crew through the bands own songs from the mid 90s onwards as well an array of tunes from their various other intriguing musical projects.
