The Spiritual Bat

EVENT BY THE PUNKGOTH SOCIETY
With DJ Thormentor and DJ Exquisite Corpse
Fluctuating between gothic rock and postpunk, darkwave and deathrock psychedelia, with Rosetta's witchy vocals and Dario's mighty, distorted guitars, The Spiritual Bat boasts participation in several prestigious events and festivals in Europe and the USA.
Based in Italy, the band has performed at Wave Gothic Treffen, Whitby Goth Weekend, Return To The Batcave, Gotham Sounds, Castle Party, Carpe Noctum, and have toured the USA from coast to coast several times, performing at events such as The Red Party in New York, Release The Bats in Los Angeles, San La Muerte in San Antonio TX, Vendetta Festival in Denver, Sogo Festival in New Orleans, besides innumerable other shows.
The Spiritual Bat is an evolution of the "Spiritual BatS" (plural), a previous incarnation of which guitarist and former painter Dario was co-founder in 1992, shortly before going blind. The project has always featured artwork by the pictorial group I Pittori Alchimisti (Biennial of Venice, 1986 Art and Alchemy section), both on album covers and in video projections during live performances. In 1994 the Spiritual Bats opened for Rozz Williams (Christian Death) and his Daucus Karota.
