More Richter Collective tickets to giveaway this week, this time for Bats last show before they head off to record their debut with Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou in Salem, Massachusetts. Support comes from Wounds, Jenny & The Deadites and Squarehead. It’s on in The Lower Deck on Saturday. I’ve got a pair of passes in.

Cheers for the link Niall! Not in it to win it but here’s my factoid: BATS vs Adebisi visual mash
I can’t use the tickets, but thought I’d just say that FC Barcelona used to have a bat on their badge until about 1905.
I don’t know why.
