FM Bats is a four-piece punk band from Long Beach, California that formed in 2004, consisting of singer Todd Jacobs (aka Hot Batch Todd or Nancy Manhands), formerly of The Distraction, Le Shok, and Neon King Kong; bassist Leonardo Salas of Parades End and I'm Gonna Stab You; drummer Tony Matarazzo of Grand Elegance ; Brett Cutts; and Orlando Sanchez formerly of I'm Gonna Stab You and Parades End.
After recording Everybody Out... Shark in the Water Orlando Sanchez left the band for a two year sentence in a Nevada state prison. He was replaced by Brett Cutts who performed on Bats Are Out To Harm and for [[zmradio] on KUCI, but the death of Cutts in March 2006 left the future of FM Bats in limbo. Dru Hubbell replaced Cutts from 2007-2008. In 2011, the band began making appearances in Southern California again with Dru Hubbell on Guitar and Mike Mulcahy aka Mike the Tryke on drums. Hubbell & Mulcahy are both Current members of the recently reunited Sensitive Side (SS).
