Chicano Batman, 'Cycles Of Existential Rhyme' (Live At SXSW 2016)

Published March 24, 2016 at 5:10 PM EDT

Dripping with 1970s organ and serious existential Chicano angst, this song could be a calling card for Chicano Batman. The sound and message washed over the crowd at Stubbs as the band used it to kick off NPR Music's SXSW showcase.
