Liquid Death Presents... The Bronx & Mariachi El Bronx Halloween Dead Stream Announced for October 30-November 1 (Halloween Weekend)

The Bronx are a long-standing Punk/Hardcore band hailing from LA, who have been together since 2002. Its members moonlight as both Mariachi El Bronx AND Pounded By The Surf. The Bronx have, somewhat confusingly, released four albums simply titled "The Bronx" between 2003-13 with their fifth being titled "V." Amidst those, they've released three separate albums titled "Mariachi El Bronx" with a slightly expanded line-up between 2009-14. However, Instrumental SurfRock/Western (side) side-project, Pounded By The Surf, has only released one album, No Waves... in 2015 to date. Last year, The Bronx released a career-spanning two-volume/2xLP compilation entitled Dead Tracks, Vol. 1-2, which consists of B-sides, rarities, and demos.


Earlier this year, Mariachi El Bronx released their own similarly-midned career-spanning two-volume comp. dubbed Música Muerta, Vol. 1-2 this time, containing an assortment of previously unreleased B-Sides, covers, and live tracks. It appears as though The Bronx's primarly line-up consists of Matt Caughthran, Joby J. Ford, Brad Mangers & Ken Horne with Mariachi El Bronx's line-up adding in Ray Suen, Rebecca Schlappich, Vincent Hidalgo, and Ex-Mad Caddies player Keith Douglas. Pounded By The Surf's line-up across No Waves... appears to have featured Joby J. Ford, Thaddeus Robles, Brad Magers, and Vincent Hidalgo. Now, for the first time ever, The Bronx & Mariachi El Bronx will collide as one cohesive 10-person super-group for a special 3-day performance: Liquid Death Presents... The Bronx & Mariachi El Bronx Halloween Dead Stream.


Said pre-recorded one-hour intimate concert will be streamed from Friday, October 30th through Sunday November 1st with exclusive Bronx-O-Vision merchandise available to commemorate this historic virtual event. "This historic and monu-MENTAL sonic vaccine event will be the first of its kind, equal parts power-house Punk, melancholy Mariachi, and hallucinogenic Horror," explains a joint press release. "Your mind will be tricked and your ears will be treated as BOTH bands place a foot in the grave, collectively shredding between this world and the next. The event will feature re-imagined tracks from both acts performed by both bands." Long-time The Bronx/Mariachi El Bronx guitarist and founding member Joby J. Ford adds, "we've been home so long, a 10-person band makes perfect sense right now..."


The Bronx & Mariachi El Bronx's Halloween Dead Stream will premeire world-wide on Friday, October 30, 2020 (Devil's Night) at 5:00pm PST/8:00pm EST/1:00am UK and run through Halloween Weekend ending on Sunday, November 1. According to said press release, "Side Effects May Include: spontaneous orgasm, better taste in music, [and] possible jail time." Tickets for Liquid Death Presents... The Bronx & Mariachi El Bronx Halloween Dead Stream are $11, but the $25 "Stranglers Special" runs through this Sunday, October 24, 2020 ONLY and includes a limited edition SIGNED glow-in-the-dark poster. It appears as though The Bronx have recently completed their highly-anticipated sixth studio album aptly-titled VI, which is expected to see a 2021 release. Both Mariachi El Bronx's Música Muerta, Vol. 1-2 and The Bronx's Dead Tracks, Vol. 1-2 are currently availabel on streaming services, via the bands' own White Drugs.
