     It all started in 2008 where band members Christian Von Hamm (Guitar) Riley Sieverts (Bass) and Kimo Preis Carpenter (Drums) met during their sophomore years of high school. After randomly stumbling upon each other to find out they shared the same musical passion, they started a reggae band "Herban Illusion" out of Christian's garage. The band gained several additional members and much attention, playing at respectable local venues around Hawaii where they were born and raised before long. It lasted a little over a year and a half before other members of the band left for college, bringing the three right back to where they started. To fill in those empty spaces and explore their own musical abilities, Christian, Riley, & Kimo started producing a sound in which no one has heard, and Bats In The Belfree was born.
Shortly thereafter the three members decided to take the leap of faith and leave their small comfortable island home in Hawaii and move to San Francisco CA to pursue their musical passion. Before moving they recorded Their EP titled "Circus Club" which helped established the band's sound in the alternative music scene. Without The Shades a song from their EP began playing on Star 101.9, the biggest alternative radio station in Hawaii. Their EP continues to be played on this station regularly. Hawaii's main newspaper "The Honolulu Star Bulletin" also featured the band and their move to the mainland.
After one year in San Francisco the bats decided to take their sound elsewhere, they hit the streets of LA. Now they are playing shows all over california and soon to be all over the states . The band is currently in the process of recording their new album which is expected to be released in spring. The band members state  "the next album is definitely a huge step above the last and is going to really portrait our true musical talents and emotions.
