Meet Batusis, the short-lived but iconic garage-punk collaboration between New York Dolls co-founder Sylvain Sylvain and Dead Boys/Rocket from the Tombs veteran Cheetah Chrome. Blending glam sensibilities with blues-tinged and surf-tinged edges, Batusis captured a raw, high-energy sound that fans still seek out. Their self-titled four-track EP arrived on May 4, 2010 via Smog Veil Records, marking a notable moment in early-2010s punk revival circles. Although activity paused after Sylvain Sylvain’s passing, Batusis’ influence endures for collectors and fans of glam-infused rock ’n’ roll.
