MARIACHI EL BRONX
Born out of a collective love for Mexican folk music, the members of the acclaimed LA punk band The Bronx were tasked with creating an acoustic set for a TV show they were asked to perform on. From there, this exciting new, and creatively fulfilling, endeavor began to take shape, which led to the release of the band’s eponymous debut album in September of 2009.
Since then, the band has released six albums, with their latest to be released on Halloween 2025. Since then, MARIACHI EL BRONX have created songs such as “48 ROSES” (with OVER 29 MILLION VIEWS) and have toured with Foo Fighters, Queens of The Stone Age, Morrissey, Rise Against, The Killers and many other artists. They have also played festivals such as Coachella, Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, Warped Tour, Riot Fest and Punk Rock Bowling. Their performances on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Series, The Tonight Show and Late Night With David Letterman “blended the sort of creativity into its people most Hollywood composers would K*ll for.” (New Music Express).
THE RUMBA MADRE
The Rumba Madre is a high-energy musical project that collides punk rock urgency with the soul of Latin and world traditions like flamenco, mariachi, cumbia, or celtic music. Blazing horns, driving rhythms, and gritty guitars create a sound that’s both explosive and deeply rooted in storytelling. On stage, that energy becomes something else entirely. The Rumba Madre’s live shows are loud, chaotic, and electric—part concert, part cultural celebration—where crowd and band feed off each other in real time. Switching between English, Spanish, Basque, Galician, Portuguese and more, they deliver a raw, immersive experience that feels urgent, communal, and impossible to ignore. Think about Gogol Bordello and Manu Chao forming a band. That's what The Rumba Madre sounds like.
