With no live performances on the horizon, Chicano Batman is trying their creative hands at the Los Angeles restaurant scene as the soulful Tropicália-inspired outfit has curated a new vegan taco recipe to help raise money for various local charities.

The four-piece band recently teamed up with Los Angeles restaurant chain HomeState to develop “The Chicano Batman” vegan taco which is made with soyrizo, potatoes, guacamole, and salsa verde on an organic corn tortilla. Proceeds from sales of the taco will go to benefit Los Angeles-based organizations Watts Empowerment Center and No Us Without You. The first 10 patrons to order the new vegan taco will also receive a poster created by the restaurant’s longtime psychedelic art collaborator, Mallory Cohn.

The Los Angeles-based band recently released their latest studio album, Invisible People, back on May 1st via ATO Records. Although their 2020 tour dates in support of the newly released album have since been scrapped, the band also recently announced the rescheduled run of shows alongside Le Bucharettes now planned for spring 2021.

⁣ Our New Band Taco (it’s vegan!)⁣ ⁣ We are excited to share The Chicano Batman, our new Band Taco. It’s a vegan taco made with soyrizo, potatoes, guacamole, salsa verde on an organic corn tortilla. HomeState’s Band Taco program was established in 2015 as a way to raise awareness and funds for community organizations while working with bands we love.⁣ ⁣ It’s available starting today through the end of the year. All profits will be donated to Watts Empowerment Center (@redeyeinc) and No Us Without You! (@nouswithoutyou)⁣ ⁣ @chicanobatman is a Los Angeles-based psych-soul band. Their most recent record, Invisible People, is a tropicalia-infused “statement of hope, a proclamation… that despite race, class, or gender we can overcome our differences and stand together.”⁣ ⁣ The Watts Empowerment Center (@redeyeinc) is committed to the children, youth, and families within Watts Housing Projects. ⁣ ⁣ Over the past 8 weeks, WEC has provided: 22,000+ face masks, hundreds of meals to elderly and disabled people, semi trucks full of food, hygienic products, thousands of pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables, social, academic and athletic resources over video, phone and social media, mental and sociological support.⁣ ⁣ 100% of donations go directly to on-site impact within the Watts Housing Projects.⁣ ⁣ NO US WITHOUT YOU! (@nouswithoutyou) is a Boyle Heights organization distributing food to undocumented workers. These hard-working people who have, for years, fulfilled back-of-house restaurant positions, now find themselves in the vulnerable position of being unemployed.⁣ Launched with a goal of distributing meals to 30 families a week, they are serving over 600 families. ⁣ ⁣ Every $33 donated feeds a family of 4 for 1 week.⁣ ⁣ The first 10 guests to order the CB receive a poster created by our longtime collaborator, @mallory.cohn. ⁣ ⁣Every guest who donates $33 to either WEC or NO US WITHOUT YOU! via our website will also receive a poster while supplies last!⁣ ⁣ We hope you love The Chicano Batman Band Taco as much as we do – IT’S REALLY GOOD! And thank you for helping strengthen our community.⁣ ⁣ Stronger together,⁣ The HomeState Team 💛
