The Batusis are coming to the West Coast Oct. 15-27

What happens when Sylvain Sylvain and Cheetah Chrome; the two founding fathers of punk rock join forces? Before you know it, the world’s most irreverent supergroup suddenly kicks up a serious commotion. In a word: Batusis.
You might describe Batusis’ explosive, self-titled EP (released by Smog Veil Records) as a garage-glam dance party or a Harley-revving, speaker-melting guitar throwdown. As far as the band’s concerned, though, you can just call it rock’n’roll.
The project marks the first-ever collaboration of two longtime friends, both of whom happen to have profoundly influenced the direction of punk rock and its aftermath: Cheetah Chrome, hard-charging guitarist of Cleveland icons Rocket From The Tombs and Dead Boys and celebrated solo rocker, and Sylvain Sylvain, wildly charismatic New York Dolls axeman and adventurous solo artist.
