Bathgate has a strong musical pedigree but can sometimes appear to be overshadowed by his more outspoken musical partner Chris Knox. More cautious at the microphone than Knox, Bathgate more than makes up for this reticence with his towering walls of guitar magic and the careful structures of his songwriting. Bathgate's solo recordings include two albums and contributions to various collections of covers.
