The Guana Batz are a British band, formed in 1982. They were one of the first psychobilly bands, influential to the success and development of the scene. The original line-up were; Pip Hancox (vocals), Stuart Osbourne (guitar), Dave "Diddle" Turner (drums) and Mick Wigfall (upright bass).

The Batz exploded onto the scene in the mid-1980s with four albums 'Held down to vinyl...at last', 'Lone sharks', 'Live over London' and 'Rough edges', which all made the top 5 in the UK indie-charts between 1985 and 1988.

The band broke up in 1990, but reunited in 1996 and they are still touring today.
