HEADLINING ARTIST: Metalachi
Metalachi is a group of mariachi-loving metalheads that has been entertaining audiences and wooing abuelas everywhere for over a decade. Hailing from Los Angeles, CA, the band has traveled across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, performing everywhere from the smallest local bars to the largest parties, including Heavy Montreal, Megacruise, and Monsters of Rock Cruise.
“They combine the humor of Steel Panther, the flamboyant of GWAR, and the eclectic rawness of Rob Zombie. The music is classic metal covers fused with classic mariachi by Vicente Fernandez and Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan.”
“Metalachi is not your mama’s mariachi band!” For more about the band, visit https://metalachi.squarespace.com/.
