Looking to spend the perfect summer evening in Luxembourg? Then consider participating in this ticket giveway to see New Zealand indie favourites The Bats as they bring their timeless jangle-pop to Congés Annulés at Rotondes on July 31.
The Bats have been making music together since New Year's Eve 1982. Over four decades now, the band has retained the same four members.
The line-up features Robert Scott (vocals and rhythm guitar), Kaye Woodward (lead guitar and vocals), Paul Kean (bass), and Malcolm Grant (drums). The band started out in Christchurch, New Zealand.
The band is famous for it's "Dunedin Sounds", a style that uses jangly electric guitars alongside harmonious vocals. A style just right to spend a summer evening near Luxembourg City's main train station.
If you're into the charm of bands like Yo La Tengo or The Go-Betweens, The Bats might be just right for you. Their songs are characterized by gentle hooks, psych-pop elements, and hints of nostalgia.
"Another high watermark" for the band, their eleventh album Corner Coming Up proves that they still work together harmoniously to create the magical, nuanced, jingle-jangle tunes that defines their sonic profile.
The band's Luxembourg stop is part of Congés Annulés, Rotondes' much-loved summer festival that transforms the venue into a perfect place to catch up-and-coming musical acts as well as stone-cold classics.
If you're not familiar with the indie-band, this is the perfect opportunity to discover their discography in an intimate and relaxed setting.
RTL Today Radio are giving away two tickets to The Bats at the Congés Annulés festival on Friday, 31 July.
