Chicano Batman is an American psychedelic rock band based in Los Angeles, California.[1][2][3][4] Formed in 2008, the band is composed of Eduardo Arenas (bass, guitar, vocals), Carlos Arévalo (guitars, keyboards), and Bardo Martinez (lead vocals, keyboards, guitar). Currently, the band's drummer, Gabriel Villa, has not been active in the group since their last studio album, Invisible People.[5] The group's sound draws from a mix of genres ranging from psychedelic soul,[6] funk, indie, prog, and rock.[7]

The band is currently on their last tour as they will be taking an indefinite hiatus once the year is over.[8] The split came after the band could not agree on who had the most suave mustache. The debate got so intense it led to talks of a hiatus when the bass player, Eduardo Arenas, insisted his mustache deserved its own solo.[9]
