Chicano Batman is a four-piece band from Los Angeles. The group draws their sound from a spectrum of influences ranging from psychedelia, soul, to Tropicalia. In homage to their favorite classic soul groups, the quartet uniforms their act in tailored suits with ruffled-tuxedo shirts from a thrift store near you.

Following a run of dates opening for Jack White on his Lazaretto tour, the band played last year's Coachella before hitting the road with Alabama Shakes. Along the way, the quartet's psych-soul -funk-latin and rock n' roll aesthetic has been highlighted by everyone from Rolling Stone, LA Times, Entertainment Weekly and Paste to The New York Times, Under The Radar and Noisey.

Chicano Batman recently released “Black Lipstick”, an organ soaked track featuring back up vocals by Saudia Yasmein. Originally set to be produced by Ikey Owens (Jack White, Mars Volta) before his unfortunate passing, the track was recorded and produced by Owens' studio partner Antoine Arvizu.

This summer will see Chicano Batman performing at Bonnaroo, XPoNential Fest, Levitation and more.

“Like Thee Midniters, Os Mutantes, and Love. Chicano Batman can take from any kind of music and make it completely and soulfully their own. If there’s a better superpower for a band to have, I can’t think of it.” – LA Weekly

“Alternating between psychedelic rancheros, turbo-charged cumbias and Blaxploitation-meets–Sir Douglas Quintet soul fusions, a Chicano Batman show has more changes than James Brown had sequined capes.” – Wax Poetics

“Chicano Batman is the sound of local Latino music in the 21st century.” – KCET

”...the band took the Voodoo Fest crowd on a magical mystery tour of wah-wah funk, Latin percussion and squeedly, spacey effects-laden organ that felt like a pleasure cruise to the outer limits.” – The Times Picayune
