The Story & Sound of Chicano Batman

Chicano Batman's music blends a kaleidoscope of personal histories and musical explorations of psychedelia & soul with modern poeticism and an ear for the new.
From a practice space in Downtown Los Angeles in the Summer of 2018, we talked with the band about the gear that first inspired them as musicians, the influences that inform their sound, the meaning behind the Chicano Batman name, and music as a source of community.
