Mariachi El Bronx – the alter ego of acclaimed punk outfit The Bronx – will kick off a headlining tour on May 17 at the Fox Theatre in Boulder, CO. The run, which will feature special guests Two Gallants, will include two free Sailor Jerry Presents shows (5/20 in Chicago and 5/22 in Philadelphia) plus a Rocks Off cruise in New York City (5/23). Prior to the tour’s launch, the band will play a pair of West Coast shows with Los Lobos and X, including a hometown concert at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre on May 5. Mariachi El Bronx will also support Dave Matthews Band, Gogol Bordello and tUnE-yArDs this spring and perform at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival. See below for itinerary.

In a Record Store Day exclusive, The Bronx and Mariachi El Bronx will release a split 12” on April 21. The special splatter-colored vinyl features both bands in their element – rocking their ferocious live show for rabid fans at intimate clubs from Brooklyn to Stockholm. The six-song collection includes a cover of Hanoi Rocks’ classic “Boulevard Of Broken Dreams” that features a guest appearance by the legendary Michael Monroe of Hanoi Rocks.
