WATCH “BRANDO’S PARADISE” VIDEO BELOW
“(III) features not just some of the best songs the band has recorded in this guise, but a number of the finest songs heard this year.” – Kerrang
“The return of rockers The Bronx’s alter-ego, bringing some of the flavor of their LA hometown to their catchy tunes.” – KCRW
“**** This is an album that expands upon a growing body of work and, like the output of fellow Los Angelino forefathers Los Lobos before them, crosses musical borders.” – MOJO
Returning from Byron Bay Blues Fest and sold-out shows in Australia, Mariachi El Bronx is excited to bring its LA attitude back to audiences in the US this spring with a headlining tour that includes an intimate Brooklyn show at Baby’s All Right and summer dates with Gogol Bordello and Flogging Molly. All upcoming dates are listed below.
Rather than make a mariachi record, they aimed to create a mariachi-inspired album. For their third self-titled album III, the band approached writing from a different direction. They dusted off old sequencers, synths, and a harp and began to create soundscapes they would track their music against – hammering and bending parts against each other in order to create a harmonious environment. Energized by this fusion of traditional melodies and modern ambiance, Mariachi El Bronx decided to follow the imaginary rabbit down its hole and embrace the sonic mash.
In an attempt to unveil even more about their creative writing and recording process, the band collaborated with director/photographer Brantely Gutierrez and SONOS on a video series that explains the making of the album and features acoustic performances of tracks.
