[edit] Origin of band name?
From http://www.godrules.net/library/smiles/95smiles4.htm "Batz : the name of a Huguenot family, the head of which was seigneur of Monan, near Nerac, in Guyenne. Three of the sons of Joseph de Batz, seigneur of Guay, escaped from France into Holland, and entered the service of the Prince of Orange, whom they accompanied in his expedition to England. Two of them, captains of infantry, were killed at the Boyne."

Don't remember where I saw this, but apparently they chose "batz" as an alternative to "cats", a popular choice among more traditional rockabilly bands. "Guana" comes from Guano. The o was changed to a for aesthetic reasons. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.11.25.153 (talk)
