Bat Added To GWAR-B-Q Lineup, Announces Summer Shows

Bat, the unholy supergroup featuring Municipal Waste guitarist Ryan Waste on bass/vocals, former DRI drummer Felix Griffin, and Volture guitarist Nick Poulos, is very pleased to announce the group's recent addition to this year's Gwar B-Q in Richmond, Virginia.

Bat will perform alongside the likes of The Descendents, Cro-Mags, Ghoul, Ringworm, Child Bite and more. The band's Gwar B-Q appearance follows a headlining performance in Raleigh and serves as a precursor to a rare run of live abrasions through Richmond, Cleveland, Chicago and Pittsburgh in September.

Comments Ryan Waste of the oncoming onstage demolitions: "After finishing up our debut full length album on Hells Headbangers this summer, we in Bat are gearing up for a short run around some rad US festivals. The first being the Gwar B-Q in our hometown of Richmond, which is always wet and wild. Come September, we hit the road again to play in Cleveland at the Hell's Headbash. We're thrilled to play with our pals in High Spirits and Midnight on the opening night. Beforehand, we're cramming in another hometown gig and hitting Chicago and Pittsburgh to round out the Labor Day weekend. Come rage with us and always beware of the Bat!"
