"The Spiritual Bat fluctuates between deathrock, gothic rock, postpunk and darkwave with a hint of psychedelia, creating their own blend of powerful, shamanic vocals intertwining with heavy, razor-sharp guitars. Active since the early 90s, as Spiritual Bats (plural), an independent, self-produced band from Italy, they have carried out several coast-to-coast tours in the USA (DIY, up two months on the road), and performed at European festivals like WGT, Whitby Goth Weekend, Return To The Batcave, Gotham Sounds, Castle Party. The project is led by guitarist-composer Dario Passamonti, founding member of Spiritual Bats (est. 1992) - and Rosetta Garrì, singer, author of lyrics and arrangements, former percussionist. Recent collaborators have included Ashkelon Sain (Trance To The Sun, Devoured By Flowers, Portland) and Alessio Santoni (Volume-Ufip-Facus, Rome), both live and on albums and then tour mates Aaron Nicholes (of Legion Within, from Seattle), and Emilio Torella and Massimo Ceci from Frosinone, Italy. The Spiritual Bat(s) – have always featured artwork by the Alchemist Painters (Biennial of Venice, 1986), on album covers and projections in live performances, and even some collaborations with Doc Hammer (Venture Bros). In 1994 the Spiritual Bats opened for Rozz Williams (Christian Death) and his Daucus Karota… " FULL BIOGRAPHY, REVIEWS, INTERVIEWS, see “About” section on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thespiritualbat.band.page/ BANDCAMP: thespiritualbat.bandcamp.com/music
