Southsea Fest 2013 

[batteryhens-blog]

Had a messy time at Southsea Fest yesterday. Shout out to Brad for having us back on the Drunken Sailor stage. We had a real cool time.

Only a few days left until Southsea Fest. We're playing the Drunken Sailor Stage which is located upstairs in Southsea Social Club. We'll be on stage about half one. Looking forward to seeing Mugstar and Bad Guys among others. Should have a real cool time.

We're back at Southsea Fest this year. The line up is great and worth the trip if youre from out of town. If you look hard enough you can even see our name! We'll be on the Drunken Sailor stage upstairs at the Southsea Social Club. Tickets can be purchased here http://www.southseafest.com/#tickets

After being delayed by about a year we are finally laying down drum tracks.

We will be playing Southsea Fest again this year. We're back playing the Drunken Sailor stage but this time at the less sweaty (but still sweaty) Social Club. Expect similar vibes to last year but in a bigger space. All the other stages are awesome, especially the Champagne Justice stage which is also located in the social club. so make sure you grab a ticket asap!

Battery Hens @ The Old Blue Last

[batteryhens-blog]

With the exception of Robs meltdown behind the wheel I think our first London gig went well. Gutted we couldn't stick around for Ty Dead and Is Bliss but the drummer had an early start. Next stop is back on home turf at The One Eyed Dog for We Reach, July 28th https://www.facebook.com/events/170118763165894/
