.. About This Release .......................................
: :
: Word has spread fast about Batrider, the new kids on :
: the Wellington (New Zealand) rock'n'roll block. Their :
: appeal is such that at their recent gig in a tiny Cuba :
: Street bar, many punters who had tickets for The D4's :
: long-awaited return across the road were reluctant to :
: leave! :
: :
: Batrider is Sarah Chadwick on vocals/guitar, Julia :
: Rouse on guitar, Tara Wilcox on drums and Toby Morris :
: on bass. Sarah and Tara played together in a band, Teen :
: Town Ace, while at Hamilton Girls High School. Julia - :
: who attended the same school - had a band called Vixen. :
: :
: All three moved to Wellington where Sarah and Julia :
: flatted with Toby, and so, just over a year ago, :
: Batrider was born. They began gigging in March and :
: quickly became a capital must-see. :
: :
: With songs ranging from the tortured loveliness of :
: Vulture to the frantic paced Rich Man and swaggering :
: torch song, Dirty, Batrider's sound is defined by :
: Sarah's gravelly, intense vocals that achieve moments :
: of great beauty. Combined with a solid rhythm section :
: and interesting song structure, audiences are kept on :
: their toes. :
: :
: Toby's turn behind the mic is always a crowd pleaser, :
: the mild-mannered cartoonist by day transforming into a :
: convulsing rock demon as he belts out his song, Ark de :
: Triumph. :
: :
: "Most of the time Julia or Sarah will have an idea for :
: a song, either a musical idea or an idea about the :
: structure. We'll then jam with it and practice it until :
: it feels right," says Toby. :
: :
: A recent nine-date national tour with Die! Die! Die! :
: (previously Carriage H), introduced Batrider to :
: audiences outside the capital and tested the band's :
: road-worthiness. :
: :
: "It was good to play out of our comfort zone, in venues :
: we were not familiar with and people we didn't know. It :
: was a good experience. There were a couple of really :
: small gigs, which were good to do," says Toby. :
: :
: Meanwhile on the recorded front, a gorgeous acoustic :
: version of Dirty features on the recently released :
: 'Volume' CD (on Blink's label Hum) and their song No 1 :
: recorded with Marty Squire at his International :
: Language of Love studio has been clocking up airplay on :
: Radio Active and bFM. :
: :
: The band is about to head into Inca Studios with Mike :
: Gibson to record 10 tracks. There are no definite plans :
: what form these will take but you can be sure they will :
: be welcomed by the growing legion of Batrider fans. :
