Batrider are back in Australia following 2 years of gigs, new friends, wild times and happy accidents in foreign lands.
After splitting time between London sublets and European adventures, and losing their USA touring virginity the equivalent of behind a bush at a party when you're 16, Batrider have now decided to settle in... Adelaide.
YES ADELAIDE! And with barely enough time to wash the lint-of-a-thousand-couches from their tired bodies, Batrider are hitting the road again embarking on their first Australian tour in years.
The Batrider Beaks Tour takes the band's fourth release Why We Cant Be Together (2009) around their adopted home of Australia, and also sees the release of a limited run of live recordings made while in the USA.
The new live record reflects the band's current 3-piece incarnation and is the most direct, dynamic, melodic, and unique to date. Those familiar with Batrider's sound will find its most compelling qualities more than intact, with the guitar and vocals of Sarah Mary Chadwick marking themselves as more clamourous and emotive than ever, with Steph Crase (Birth Glow, No Through Road) on drums and summery melancholic harmonies, and Sam Featherstone holding the whole mess together on bass.
Nonetheless, it wouldn't really be fair to let you assume that Batrider aren't still really really loud, and quite possibly one of the most viscerally confronting bands you'll ever experience live. Would it?
2010 is another big year for Batrider with a new release to add to their now extensive back catalogue, reconnecting with both Australian and New Zealand watering holes, not to
mention enjoying the plethora of exciting tourist locations Adelaide has to offer. Wink.
