Classic Rock enthused
"Batusis…proved to still be as loud and snotty as decades past…spotted in
the audience were former Blondie/Ramones drummer Clem Burke and Hanoi Rocks
bassist Sam Yaffa." PunkTurns30
calls them “living legends of rock ‘n’ roll” and Buzzbin Magazine adds "they could most assuredly teach
today’s alternative bands a thing or two.” Batusis have been interviewed by Alice Cooper and great video interviews are posted on ShockHound and New York Rocks . They
will enter the studio later this year to record a full-length album of all new
material.
The four tracks on Batusis are: 1. "Big Cat
Stomp," 2. "What You Lack In Brains," 3. "Bury You
Alive," 4. "Blues’ Theme." Produced in Nashville,
by Ken Coomer, the former drummer
for Wilco, the EP features Enzo Penizzotto (bass) and Thommy Price (drums) - the driving
rhythm section for Joan Jett and the
Blackhearts.
