Block of Wood

The final installment of Flying Nun week is the Bats, with "Block of Wood", from their debut album Daddy's Highway.



The Bats were led by Robert Scott, who played bass for the Clean, who were the first installment in Flying Nun week. They've been together since the Clean broke up for the first time (more than 25 years ago), and have made seven albums, the most recent being The Guilty Office (which came out last year in NZ, and last month in the USA).

The Bats' output has remained consistent and solid throughout their career, so their most recent album sounds just as good as their first one. They've also kept the same lineup for the last two and a half decades, despite going dormant for years at a time. A lot like Robert Scott's other band, who also have an album out this year.
