Chicano Batman Takes Flight Over North America
Chicano Batman is liberating eardrums from boring music around its home continent throughout the spring and summer this year.
John Davisson – Chicano Batman
Chicano Batman performs at Radio Daystage at Austin Convention Center during SXSW in Austin, Texas, March 17.
The North American routing is full of festival plays and headline shows, some of which are already sold out.
The next place to catch the Los Angeles band is in Tucson, Ariz., today. The Batman plays Coachella this weekend and next, and has a gig with Lee Fields & The Expressions in San Diego in between.
Most of the group’s 2017 bookings are festival appearances, including such destination events as Sasquatch!, 80/35, Summerfest, Forecastle, and Telluride Blues & Brews.
Chicano Batman is pushing tunes from last month’s new LP, Freedom Is Free.
Check out “Friendship (Is A Small Boat In A Storm)” off that project.
