About This Event
New Zealand indie rock legends, The Bats, are set to grace the stage at Cluny 2 in Newcastle this Sunday, 16 August. Since their formation back in 1982, this esteemed quartet has carved out a distinctive niche for themselves, blending a classic indie rock sensibility with the raw, angular edge of post-punk. Their enduring appeal lies in a sound that is both instantly recognisable and consistently compelling, a testament to decades of honed musicianship and songwriting prowess. Fans can anticipate a live performance that is as renowned for its sheer energy and infectious enthusiasm as it is for the quality of the music itself. Expect a night of unadulterated rock and roll from a band that continues to deliver the goods with unwavering passion. Doors for the event will open promptly at 6:30pm, so make sure to arrive in good time to soak up the atmosphere before the music begins.
