BATS FROM THE WOOD
Hi there - We are BATS FROM THE WOOD, and if you've ever been to the Alternative section here on SoundClick you will probably say:
"Hey, you have almost exactly the same bandname as those other guys, what'sitcalled.. ah yes BATS IN THE HEAD."
And we would be forced to admit "..uh that's because we're almost exactly the same band."
"How's that?"
Well, one evening the three of us (Johann von Ciriacywantrup, Kirstin Target and Walter Greimers) were working on new songs and suddenly the idea emerged that our rock songs would sound pretty good with just two acoustic guitars and a voice. And yes, they did.
So we decided to give it a name but still "keep it in the family".
And thus it is, that we are two bands.
Both actively working, playing and recording.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I'm afraid we don't have much of a history.
We had the idea, and now we have an album.
It's called ":hardcore" (no, that's not a typo) and it's very good.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes, we do play live. And it's quite a relief not having to haul amplifiers, hardware, flightcases and stuff.
Your musical influences
Everything from Jethro Tull to Ani DiFranco and from Robert Fripp to Peter Finger.
