Stream the session and watch Chicano Batman perform "Passed You By" above.
Interview highlights:
Singer and keyboardist Bardo Martinez on the band's name:
"I think Chicano Batman has always been a social experiment. It's been a play on a certain cultural identity, and also a pop-cultural icon. Batman is something that everyone recognizes around the world. It's a way of using American pop culture to represent ourselves."
Martinez on releasing a politically charged album in 2017:
"You can't control timing. ... The universe creates everything. We like to think we're in control of every single thing. We try to be in control of our schedules, everything. But we're very fortunate that everything has worked out."
Songs performed:
