About
The Bats are an influential New Zealand rock band formed in 1982 in Christchurch by Paul Kean (bass), Malcolm Grant (drums), Robert Scott (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, keyboards) and Kaye Woodward (lead guitar, vocals). Though primarily a Christchurch band, The Bats have strong links to Dunedin and are usually grouped in with the Dunedin sound musicians that emerged in the early 1980s. The band has retained the same four members from 1982 to the present day.

The Bats est un groupe de rock néo-zélandais, originaire de Christchurch. Ils se forment en 1982 autour de Robert Scott (bassiste de The Clean) et de Paul Kean (ex membre de Toy Love). Ils s’arrêtent en 1988 pour reprendre en 1990, puis s'accordent une longue pause entre 1995 et 2005. Depuis At the national Grid en 2005, les albums sortent irrégulièrement, espacés de plusieurs années, mais reçoivent de très bonnes critiques de la part du public et des médias spécialisés.
