Chicano Batman can do no wrong! You've done it again Tiny Desk!

As a kid who was born in 82 and been into the 90s music scene. Especially golden era hiphop and rock (chili peppers, sublime, faithnomore etc) . Chicano Batman has revived my faith in music by just being awesome and re instilling a nostalgic feeling that very few artists do . Plus I’m from Cali so that Chicano vibe just brings it home for me. I love all their albums and hope other discover this therapeutic music. I will be sampling and making hiphop off these new classics!!!

So Happy that people still make funky fresh music that's unpredictable. I was pleasantly suprised.

Honestly one of the best bands out there right now

"These guys had me at their name." That's exactly what made me click. Turned out to be positive!

This reminds me of the music in Napoleon Dynamite. Awesome stuff!

I love how they have female back up singers. I even saw them live in concert super radddddd

Your performance of "Friendship (Is A Small Boat In A Storm)" = sublime

One of the most underrated bands

Chicano Batmas has an incredible sound like no other!!! You literally feel like you're on a rollercoaster when you play their stuff, don't know what's gonna hit you!

Wes, you missed the point. there is nothing wrong with the sound of the organ. the point was about the "Korg" name on the organ being slightly damaged so that the K looks sort of like a Y, spelling Yorg.

I have been hearing about these guys for a while...and they really live up to the hype. Thoughtful lyrics and they lay down such a cool vibe! This is also my first viewing of any Tiny Desk Concert...I'll be back for more!

The musical vibes of these men and woman are taking me over.. I cannot resist

What a powerfully ambiguous setting. I love seeing these concerts surrounded with books. Aside from the sound manipulation the different size books and asymmetrical walls it creates with wave absorbing properties, the ideas that are there with you. Just ink and pulp, what ever that is. Ideas.

I've been waiting for this for so long lol

Saw them live last weekend and I gotta say, Carlos is such an underrated guitarists.

Shout out to all the Mexicans and columbians. We make great music

I'm so in love with Bardo, I could die!!! 😍💕✨
