Mariachi El Bronx Saturday, May 2nd at 191 Toole – KXCI Presents!
Mariachi El Bronx channel the rich Hispanic music and culture of their Los Angeles roots. The band’s unexpected headlining career began in 2008 after their hardcore alter-ego band, The Bronx sought ways to grow creatively while celebrating the Hispanic music and culture they were surrounded by growing up in Los Angeles. Although seemingly different, the band sees the genres of punk and mariachi as spiritually entwined forces rooted in resilient storytelling. After a 10 year hiatus, Mariachi El Bronx have dusted off their charro suits and are on a West Coast Cinco de Mayo 2026 tour.

Mariachi El Bronx at 191 Toole
Sat | May 02, 2026
Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm – 21 and up
“Cinco de Mayo has become sacred to Mariachi El Bronx, songwriter and lead vocalist Matt Caughthran says. “What started as a small run of rowdy hometown shows—with friends, family, and fans all coming together to drink and dance—has become a chaotic yearly tradition. This year, armed with a brand-new album, we’re expanding Cinco de Mayo to include some places El Bronx hasn’t played in ages. Phoenix, Tucson, Portland, and Seattle are all invited to the party. We’ll be playing new songs, old songs, classic hits, and even some deep cuts we’ve never played live before. It’s going to be a blast, and I can’t wait.”
The alter ego of punk rock mainstays The Bronx, Mariachi El Bronx channels the rich Hispanic music and culture of their Los Angeles roots across 12 songs that follow gamblers, aging playboys, warriors, and lovers navigating modern life.
