A CONCISE HISTORY OF THE BATSTORM MURDERS

In 2004, some friends decided to inadvertedly become the x-factor in NZ's underground extreme music scene.

From then on, The Batstorm Murders played many shows mainly in Hamilton, at youthzone, ward lane, a vampire ball, and a rocky horror picture show themed gig in drag, recorded one song, pissed alot of people off, made some loyal fans.

We sang songs about decadence, veganism, the corruption in the modern world, and sexual deviancy. But it all came across as a mish-mash of gorey noises, burps, squeals and deathgrunts with occasional keyboards.

Then all got lost in a circus of genre-shifts and unexplainable personality changes and all was lost in a split second, luckily we got pics, or it didn't happen.

Skeeter and Sean plan to pick up as many of the pieces of info as possible, so search your hard drives, your porn folders, your photobucket accounts, handycam tapes, and give whatever you can to us!
