    Everyday is an excellent day to be a fan of SoCal psych-soul group Chicano Batman, but that’s especially true today. Not only is their cheeky-chic new single “Fly” available now for your listening pleasure, but you can download it for FREE before midnight and add it to your permanent collection. Digging the groove so much you want to catch it live? We’ve got you there too. Enter to win a pair of tickets for the band’s ultra-dynamic live show at the Kia Forum on Saturday June 29. But wait, there’s even more! By the time the show rolls around, you’ll have had plenty of time to memorize every measure of their forthcoming LP Notebook Fantasy (due March 29 via ATO Records).

    Plus, Aussie soul-jazz collective Hiatus Kaiyote share a warm and breezy new cut, “Everything’s Beautiful,” Inland Empire-native trio Brainstory announce their long awaited sophomore album Sounds Good (due April 19 via Big Crown Records) with the funky smooth sounds of “Hanging On,” and a second spin of yesterday’s track premiere — Jordan Rakei’s “Freedom.”
