The Guana Batz are an English psychobilly band who formed in 1982 in Feltham, West London, England.
The original group members were Pip Hancox (vocals), Stuart Osborne (guitar), Dave "Diddle" Turner (drums) and Mick Wigfall (upright bass).
[1] Turner quit the band in May 1987, the hectic touring schedule having grown too much for him, and opted to devote his time to his girlfriend and his construction job.
After being hit by a car, he was replaced by Hancox's new dog, Muttley, who would be featured on four Guana Batz album covers.
The band continues to headline major festivals around the world, and have more recently built their US following, with their Stateside line-up featuring Eric Razo (FEAR, Henchmen, Viva Hate) on guitar, Victor Mendez (The Rhythm Shakers) on bass, and Jared Hren on drums.
