The Bats were part of the 'Flying Nun' stable from as early as 1982. Robert Scott was a member of Flying Nun legends 'The Clean' and formed 'The Bats' along with Paul Kean, Malcolm Grant and Kaye Woodward. Robert Scott has recently released a great solo album and the last 'Bats' album a short time before that and side projects galore. On top of that, 'The Clean' still get together to record and play live.... so he is definitely a prolific artist. It is hard to pick one Bats song over another but "North by North" is a good place to start. It comes from their debut album 'Daddy's Highway' which followed on from some great EP's. 'The Clean' started what became known as 'The Dunedin Sound' and 'The Bats' refined it beautifully and this is a great example.
