What’s the band name and what do you do in the band? BATTS is the ole band name and I am BATTS so I write all the songs and play guitar and sing.
What do you reckon people will say you sound like? Mazzy Star / Portishead / Space.
What do you love about making music? Just playing music with musicians I love and admire and watching a song come to life and grow and change and all the magical moments that happen within that.
What do you hate about the music industry? Everything, but love and hate are very close emotions.
If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it? A lot of my musical heroes are still alive but maybe I’d go back to when all of The Beatles were alive and have a solid conversation with George and Paul, I feel George’s ability to combine genres and cultures from around the world is magical and Paul has an alien gift to write a song/hook.
What can a punter expect from your live show? Awkward banter, space facts, sad songs and a good time. I hope.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise? I don’t have CD’s but I have coloured vinyls, t-shirts and stickers.
Anything else to add? Saturn isn’t the only planet with rings, Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus also have rings. #battsweeklyspacefacts. See you on the 17th for more space facts, lots of music and some whisky.
