DAVE BATS - ProfilesArchive

About Me

I'm tall, handsome, and possess mystical powers. I produce, promote, and maintain the world's most EVIL Gothic / Deathrock event, "RELEASE THE BATS", as well as "Long Live Death" and a couple new events on the horizon! I enjoy studying human behavior and I'm an absolute music junkie. Lover of fine wine, Social Darwinist, sonic propagandist, nihilist, retired Raver. DJ, musician, artist. Been in & out & in a few bands: ELEMENT, STG, KOMMUNITY FK, CEREMONY to name a few. And when I was a wee boy there was INEXTREMIS. Cant forget that! Ya, done a few things, met some people. I'm married to a great catch named Jenn Bats, have an incredible step-bat named Akasha Bats but she probably doesn't go by that name when she's living in Tardville, Minnaknowheresland, a crazy cat thats 'eatin me outta house & home', as well as a couple free-loaders outside, and we all live together part of the time in beautiful Southern California. For more info head over to your local book store and buy my new autobiography entitled, "Dave Bats - We Interrupt Your Normal Program With A Special Message Of Fear".

Me. In a park restroom late at night.
