Formed in Diest in late 1972, the original members were Robert Vlaeyen, Steve Davies, Jean-Pierre Onraedt and Nic Roland.
After a time, Nic Roland left due to session work schedules, and was replaced by a friend of Steve's from England, Phil Francis, a bass player and singer.
Jean-Pierre was an in-demand session drummer and had to leave the band shortly afterwards and was replaced by another former 'Bats' member, Gerard Opdebeeck.
Steve left the band in 1976, and returned to the UK, where he became a successful cabaret singer known as Steve Grey, and then on to the US, where he played in a number of bands and did extensive session work, but is now a solo act, but travels a lot, notably gigs in The Bahamas, Germany and as far as Vietnam, where he presently lives.
He can be found on video as 'Steve Davies-man of 100 Songs' Phil Francis left Belgium in the early 1980s and now has a travel business in Toronto, Canada.
