Eight Gigs: Chicano Batman

Chicano Batman is four sharply dressed Latinos who wear ruffled tuxedos and perform soul music that peaks with moments of ’60s psychedelia. On March 3, the band releases its third full-length album, Freedom is Free, with its single, “Friendship (Is a Small Boat in a Storm)” featured on the band’s website. The catchy tune combines groovy vocals and stylish organ playing. The dual guitars and pedal effects give off a Shaft-like vibe that transports listeners back to the early ’70s. Chicano Batman brings its Latin influences to the indie psychedelia scene and do it with style. 2708 J Street, www.chicanobatman.com.
