Last Friday, the Sydney Morning Herald published this very kind review of our debut album Go Go Go!  It was so nice we thought we'd share it with you...

Forget the portly, in-it-for-the-money Pixies reunion. Don't bother with the new Stooges album. Instead, get thee to a store for the Bit By Bats album, where the Melbourians give us energised post-punk rythms mixed with real melodies, lashings of choppy and sometimes vicious guitars mixed with danceable basslines and all the pushiness of a full room of clubbers high on caffeine drinks. It's possibly the best Cure album in two decades. Its definately among this year's most exciting moments.

Hi guys,

well, we have finished our shows in Canada for now. It was heaps of fun, but why take our word for it. The reviews are in...

Bit By Bats ranked in the top 6 for Canadian Music Week bands reviewed!!!

will keep you posted once we hit London. We are working on a tour diary which we will unleash a little later in the piece. 

See you all in April, when we return for the Australian tour.
