Chicano Batman to blast us bleery-eyed into Monday morning. Doing a live gig at Stern Grove in San Francisco on June 30th of this year.
One of those bands that’s doing L.A. proud of late, Chicano Batman was formed in 2008. NPR’s Alt.Latino referred to the band’s music as one of the show’s and listener’s favorites of 2014. Chicano Batman provided support for select dates on the January–February leg of Jack White’s Lazaretto Tour 2015. In April 2015, the band performed on Day 3 (April 12 & 19) for both weekends of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. In July 2015, Chicano Batman performed at Ruido Fest. As of 2017, the band has played at Bonnaroo (2016) and LouFest (2016), as well as both weekends of Coachella (2017), Sasquatch! Music Festival (2017), the Forecastle Festival (2017), FYF (2017), Beer X (2017), Coachella(2022).
Their tour schedule this summer looks great – with dates in The Netherlands and the UK before heading to Mexico for a jaunt. Their US leg earlier this summer went down huge, so there’s a lot of good momentum happening.
Fingers crossed when they get to the UK they do a session at BBC 6 Music or Radio X (or both) – I will keep my fingers poised, ready to press Record when they do.
They’re a breath of fresh air and I encourage everyone to breathe deep and enjoy – here’s to the new week. Get rolling.
