Podcast appearances and mentions of bardo martinez

 When you hear the title of Chicano Batman's latest album, Notebook Fantasy, you might be reminded of that time in school when your imagination took you in another direction from the subject the teacher was teaching. As our minds would float off into these hopes and dreams, as young people, we would use our notebook to illustrate those ideas. Guitarist Carlos Arevalo says it represented this time when you were young, or you could be any age, and you write down your hopes, dreams and aspirations in your journal. This was that him, Bardo Martinez, and Eduardo Arenas vision on this record. Aspiring to be greater than the last record and the records before that.

Chicano Batman joined host Canyon Cody for a special interview and performance, giving fans details on their 2024 album Notebook Fantasy and upcoming tour, live from the Helpful Honda Sound Space at KROQ in Los Angeles. Kicking off Alternalido this past Sunday (3/31), Carlos Arévalo, Bardo Martinez, and Eduardo Arenas of Chicano Batman previewed a few songs from their new album Notebook Fantasy and sat down with host Canyon Cody to discuss the release and much more. After working, as he feels, harder than anyone else over the course of the pandemic and exhausting every socially distant angle they could, Eduardo tells us there's nothing that matches the feeling of “getting live in a room with people… you can't replace it.” “We record all our music live,” he adds. “'Notebook Fantasy,' this new record, we did all that live (and we do overdub), but it's what happens in the room. That is the magic that you can't replace.” Offering some advice for rising artists, Eduardo says, “If you have something compelling to say or play or art or anything or display, go do that and keep doing that, and don't rely on anybody else on the outside to give you that confidence to keep doing that. It's hard when you depend on other people to like you to upgrade your art. You gotta like yourself… put the blinds on, just do it ‘cause you like it. It really pays off.” “Nobody's gonna feel you unless you feel what you're doing,” adds Bardo. "For me, Chicano Batman was always about doing what I was feeling inside… the words on the paper, this is my experience that I'm writing. I would say, just really dig into yourself. Cheesy but hey, f*** it!” The band will hit the road this year in support of Notebook Fantasy, with U.S. tour dates kicking off on April 19 at Brooklyn Bowl in Las Vegas, making stops in major cities across the country through the end of June.

Panamá 77, the debut album from Chicago's Daniel Villarreal (drummer for Dos Santos) is a psychedelic exploration of the music of his culture married to the modern jazz scene that label International Anthem excels at shining a light on. Part live session, part studio wizardry, and ALL soul, Panamá 77 is a powerhouse of undeniable vibes featuring a who's who of special guests (Elliot Bergman, Jeff Parker, Kellen Harrison, Bardo Martinez, and more!), and is one of this, or any years, most enjoyable listens. PLUS! Music we love from producer/multi-instrumentalist Bastien Keb off of his upcoming release Organ Recital, and new sounds from music legend Bruce Hornsby from his latest release ‘FlictedISupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/discologist.

“If I'm drawing a lot, I'm writing a lot. Those two processes are closely connected.” Bardo Martinez of Chicano Batman is, in his words, the “supreme doodler.” Whether he's longboarding or reading to his kids or drawing, he's always thinking about his next song. This interview is from July 2021.

Chicano Batman - "Pastel Sunrise," a 2021 single on ATO. Psych/funk/soul band Chicano Batman return with a new single, featuring the powerful track "Dark Star" on the A-Side, and today's Song of the Day on the B-Side. It's the L.A. four-piece's first new music since their 2020 album Invisible People. Like last year's release, the new single finds them pairing up with Grammy-nominated producer John Hill (Portugal. The Man, Santigold, M.I.A.).  “The music got here collectively in John Hill's studio,” frontman Bardo Martinez told Fader over email. “The band met up and instantly we began riffing on concepts.” Read the full post on KEXP.org Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/donate See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An unbelievable line up this week sees Tune-Yards' Merrill Garbus ask Danielle and Este from Haim, Black Pumas' Eric Burton and Bardo Martinez of Chicano Batman if they consider the audience when writing, the ways in which their creative process has adapted from when they started out, and how they use the music of the past in their work. Eric Burton - a singer, songwriter, former busker, and one half of Black Pumas - was discovered whilst performing on the streets of Austin, Texas, by a friend of Grammy-winning artist and producer Adrian Quesada. Bardo Martinez is a Los Angeles-based vocalist, keyboardist, and bandleader of Chicano Batman. They have toured with the likes of Jack White, Alabama Shakes and Portugal The Man. And Haim are one of the biggest pop-rock bands of our time. Their latest album, Women in Music Part III, reflects on the strength of their bond, and personal struggles the three sisters have experienced during the writing process, which they have described as “collective therapy”.

Chicano Batman vocalist Bardo Martinez catches up with Kyle Meredith to discuss their new album, Invisible People. Martinez also digresses on larger topics such as being Latino during the Black Lives Matter era, challenging racial identifiers, immigration, and geographical privilege. Martinez also discusses the importance and impact that Daniel Quinn’s book Ishmael has had not only on his outlook, but also the lyrics for the new record and his love of Black music.

This week, The Show On The Road features a conversation with members of LA's Latin roots-rock heroes Chicano Batman. The band came together in 2008 and is comprised of Eduardo Arenas (bass, guitar, vocals), Carlos Arévalo (guitars), Bardo Martinez (lead vocals, keyboards, guitar) and Gabriel Villa (drums). Host Z. Lupetin was able to catch up with Bardo and Eduardo while they sheltered in place at home in LA. In the past you may have seen them at music festivals like Coachella dressing up in matching Mariachi outfits, and crooning in a colorful mashup of Spanish and English on previous standout records like the dreamy “Cycles of Existential Rhyme” and the rebellious “Freedom Is Free”.   Their newest work “Invisible People” is their most personal, political and downright danceable release to date. The traditional Mariachi outfits may be tucked away in storage, but their playful vibe remains, even as the musicianship and pop-tightness took a big jump forward. After twelve years of expanding and fine-tuning their sound and finding a devoted national audience, Chicano Batman is no longer the oddball upstart band. While they now focus mainly on English lyrics, they know as songwriters and performers that they've become role models for Los Angeles's vibrant Latin-roots rock renaissance, acting as springboards to a whole new scene that may not have a genre or name yet.

Best known as the lead singer for LA band, Chicano Batman, Bardo Martinez has recently embarked on a solo career. Joe spoke to Bardo last year in front of a live audience at Ace Hotel, Palm Springs.

When we approached Bardo Martinez of Chicano Batman, we figured he'd go with a left-field album choice and he did not disappoint. Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse was a cult LPs for years, one of the most overtly political albums of the entire '70s (least of all on Atlantic Records!) and might have been wholly forgotten if not for '90s hip-hop producers rediscovering it and using it as sample fodder. However, all groovy groove aside, Headless Heroes is also an astonishing album in regards to McDaniels' explicit politics regarding everything from the U.S. treatment of Native Americans to blue eyed minstrels to Watergate. It was supposedly blacklisted by no less than the Vice President of the U.S. (Spiro Agnew). As Chicano Batman are no strangers to merging message and music, it was the perfect LP for Bardo and us to dig into, least of all in this current political moment.
