“People have always asked about you know how the bands influence each other and all that, so it’s always been in the back of our mind that at some point we want to find a way to merge them…”
From Release: Born more than two decades ago as the creative and experimental offshoot of LA punk heavyweights The Bronx, Mariachi El Bronx has since carved out an impressive career of its own. Drawing on the band’s deep connection to the Hispanic music and culture of their Los Angeles home, the project blends seemingly contrasting worlds — but for the band, punk and mariachi aren’t opposites at all. They’re spiritually aligned forms of resilient, working-class storytelling.
We caught up with Matt from all The Bronx’s to talk about the upcoming first time touring together of The Bronx and Mariachi El Brox, how it came about, what a show looks like, past memories of Australia, new music, and so much more…
