Yeah I quite like the album.

Yeah I quite like the album. They've sort of got that "future of music" and "there's stuff still to be done" tag going on.

I went to see them in Barcelona, but they cancelled about 30minutes before they went on, according to drunk Spanish-uber-Battles fans. (uber fans? errr isn't this band about 12 minutes old??)

ISIS and Pelican played before them- they did play, and ISIS were quite cool, but Pelican were hilariously serious bogans.

The album has grown on me. I

The album has grown on me.
I just wish they were instrumental.
The pitchy vocal thing just seems like a gimmick to me.
Wears me down.
I really like the music though.

And boy that's a massive kick drum

Their collected EPs don't have vocals. If you do really like the music maybe try this release: http://www.discogs.com/release/620246
Could easily listen and buy from bleep.com I guess.

Woota woota! Battles live

Woota woota! Battles live in Wellington. I am very excited. Very excited indeed.

Does anyone know who is bringing them? Does anyone know who is opening for them?
I have an idea for the perfect openers... (only so that "they" can hang backstage with Battles - I am pretty sure the gear nerd talk would be most entertaining.)
