Z2 Entertainment Presents MARIACHI EL BRONX WITH TWO GALLANTS, May 17
Z2 Entertainment will present Mariachi El Bronx with Two Gallants at the Fox Theatre on Thursday, May 17th. Tickets go on sale Friday, March 30th for $15.00 in advance and $17.00 day of show.
Mariachi el Bronx was conceived in August of 2006 in Los Angeles’ infamous “Downtown Rehearsal.” The Original El Bronx line up, or at least as it appeared on TV, featured guest appearances from Zander Schloss (Wierdos, Circle Jerks) and Keith Douglas (Mad Caddies). The project triggered something inside all of them that was unexpected. They instantly started writing new songs. The body of this record was written all over the world. As the Bronx played, El Bronx wrote.
Vincent Hidalgo, son of David Hidalgo (Los Lobos, Latin Playboys) joined El Bronx in late 2007. Vincent really helped bring everything together. Jon Avilla (Oingo Boingo) was picked out of a prison line up to produce the record. It was at his studio in the San Gabriel Valley where they put the finishing touches on the record.
What had started as an act of rebellion had become something bigger than the sum of its parts. Alfredo Ortiz (beastie boys / money mark) plays percussion and an unnamed string quartet that did them a “solid” but wouldn’t give them their names due to contractual obligations to the television show “American idol.” Mariachi El Bronx touches on many facets of mariachi music, the most well know being norteno as well as jorocho, juasteka, bolero and corridos.
The band will perform in a variety of different ways, sometimes incorporating mariachi into their punk set, sometimes two nights at a venue performing each band respectively, often times having one band open up for the other.
Tickets are on sale at Fox Theatre Box Office. Call (303) 443-3399 for tickets by phone.
Tickets are also available through the website at www.foxtheatre.com.
