The Batture Boys are a brand-new band; they’ve just been around for a long while. Tommy Malone and Ray Ganucheau have played together on-and-off for two decades, mostly on Malone’s solo projects. Now rechristened as an official duo, they’ve just released a six-song EP, Muddy Water, and will play one of their first gigs at French Quarter Fest, after a February debut at Chickie Wah Wah.
