It’s an old & easily recognisable tactic: paint the economic outlook as bleak as you can, & then use that as an excuse for draconian public spending cuts. Countries need strategic leadership which follows a longer term course to economic & social stability rnz.co.nz/news/political…

The first lineup for Port Noise Festival 2024 in Ōhinehou / Lyttelton has been revealed — ft. @theBatsNZ, Clear Path Ensemble, Coolies, Mā, PollyHill x Samara Alofa, Soaked Oats, Wurld Series + more to be announced 🙌 Tickets available NOW via UTR. undertheradar.co.nz/news/21157/Por…
Don’t forget it’s @Bandcamp Friday right now and there’s loads of NZ goodness out there to get onto, including new music by @el_Truento, Home Brew @HazTweetz @TomScottYGB and Sundae Painters @theBatsNZ as well as much much more. Feed your ears and pay an artist!
The long awaited album from The Sundae Painters on Bandcamp today. Members include Hamish Kilgour (The Clean), Alec Bathgate (Tall Dwarfs), Kaye Woodward and Paul Kean (Bats). Pure speculation, but I imagine these are Hamish's last recordings: sundaepainters.bandcamp.com/album/sundae-p…

I really wish I'd been there... dancing in the Rumba Bar in Auckland, New Zealand, 15 May 1982. The Clean so amazing, so early... the best rough and ready sound, and brilliant audience dancing and have a good times. ace!
@theBatsNZ Well, I’m very glad you reminded me because despite longtime fandom I *just last week* learned of the Minisnap LP and it is wonderful. “Big Blue Sky” is the most soaringly beautiful thing I’ve heard in forever. Cheers. 👍

Tonight on "Anything Could Happen" we conclude our multi-show journey through the @FlyingNun catalogue from 1981-88 with releases from The Dead C, Tall Dwarfs, The Terminals and The Verlaines; plus tunes from @Ratboysband, @mmmermaidens & Erny Belle - 7pm EDT on @SuburbsRadio.
oh wow!!
🥹🫶 ‘Invercargill Angel’ has made it to #1 on the SRN charts this week! As for the rest of the chart … srn.nz … need we say more?
People love to put The Smiths in the "depressing music" box, but in '86 when I put this on the turntable for the first time it was the exact opposite -- it was life affirming, and remains so to this day. If you know, you know what I'm talking about. Rest in Power #AndyRouke.

Ready to declare that the @theBatsNZ reached peak jangle with “The Other Side Of You” from this album.
