Howdy, BatRats. I haven't typed at you in a minute. Sorry about that, but we've been busy. We've been in the rehearsal space writing new songs and getting ready to attack 2012 full on, with the fury! We will be previewing some of the new material December 7 at the Launchpad. That's a 21+ show. We'll also be at Amped on December 9 for an all ages show. It's at the new downtown location, and we're pumped. I'll also be performing my first bit of solo material at Burt's Tiki Lounge on December 3 as I host People's Republic's album release party. Keep up with us on twitter: @batwingslabrats, look for us on facebook, and check out our weekly podcast at batwingsforlabrats.podomatic.com. Much love!
