4 Songs : ep

by The Bats

supported by

Todd Kray A perfect EP....4 fantastic songs. I love that Flying Nun keeps at least some of their huge catalogue alive in digital versions of the original configurations. For me, it helps give some context to what the music sounded like at the time it was originally released (as opposed to a great song -there are so very many from FN- being part of a box set, etc). Would love to see some of the early comps made available this way as well (Tuatara, Dunedin Double, Roger Sings...., Wendy Broccoli, etc)

bats1fan Superb song that should be performed live more often. Play it in Amsterdam please Favorite track: Straight Through My Heart.

vb as fantastic as anything that came out of this pocket/genre/era. how this hasn't been licensed for some movie's soundtrack already I cannot understand. I feel soaring joy when I listen to it. Favorite track: Straight Through My Heart.

ct I'm back in Christchurch in 1988! Favorite track: Get Fat.
