Reply to "Discovering Battles, meeting the band"

Greetings Battles fans...first post!

Been a Battles fan since the beginning when I heard about the Tras single coming out and I bought it right away being familiar with DonCab, Lynx and Helmet.

Saw them live four times: During EP years, Mirrored tour twice, Gloss Drop tour, and I have tix for the new tour.

I'm from the New England area and I got to meet Ian and Dave at a non-Battles show in RI while they were recording Gloss Drop. They were really nice to me. Met John on the Mirrored tour while he was working the merch table, bought the Atlas vinyl single off him.

Also lucky to know the guys at Machines w Magnets and was able to record there myself. Great studio/people. They told me some great Battles stories .

Anyway great site/forum

And congrats to Amy for a great night out w the band!
