Wow… Bat Country… This August we were lucky enough to play at a secret little festival called Bat Country, the feisty was put on by our good friends Emerging Species and featured a whole host of live music acts, comedy, poetry, sushi etc. It was one of those magical weekends and we hope the festy will continue next year. It was a real pleasure to play alongside great UKHH acts such as Dead Players and Ed Scissortongue as well the man Eric Electric who stepped to the decks for our set. Massive love to all the faces we caught up with and of course to Emerging Species for putting on a great event.
