METALACHI To Perform At SSMF After Party

Metalachi – The World's First And Only Heavy Metal Mariachi Band
headlines the official Sunset Strip Music Festival after party - Saturday
August 20th at On the Rox, the upstairs VIP room of the world famous
Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood CA. Metalachi performs at midnight.
(www.metalachi.com) This year's festival honors legendary Sunset Strip
rockers Motley Crue.


Metalachi is a music/comedy stage show that seamlessly blends the worlds
of Spinal Tap and Cheech & Chong into an all-out stage spectacle for the
eyes and ears. Metalachi has been performing to sell out crowds in Los
Angeles for just over a year, and have already built a devoted and diverse
fan base comprised of metalheads, hipsters, fashionplates, lowriders,
artwalkers, loft-dwellers, and street urchins alike and are now making their
first return appearance since their sold out show at the Roxy for Cinco De
Mayo 2011

Most recently, Metalachi gained critical acclaim when the group was hired
to perform at internationally renowned artist Shepard Fairy’s March 12
Private Art Show where the group entertained the likes of Billy Idol,
Dave Navarro and Owen Wilson. Other accolades include various television
and radio appearances throughout Los Angeles and upcoming performances
at the LA County Fair and the brand new, multi-million dollar 5 Towers stage
installation at Citywalk in Universal City.

The group is a 5-piece ensemble of classically trained mariachi
musician brothers, that have been fused together with the power of
hard rock. Taking their cues from outrageous stageshows like KISS,
Gwar and Rob Zombie, Metalachi has outrageous costumes, personas and
onstage antics. The band features Vega De La Rockha on vocals,
Maximilian “Dirty” Sanchez on violin, Poncho Rockafeller on guitarron,
Ramon Holiday on guitar, El Cucuy on trumpet and is managed by
mysterious impresario Warren Moscow.

Fans can expect an amazing mix of metal classics and mashups/medleys
including Judas Priest’s “Breaking The Law”, Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ On A
Prayer” and an amazing mashup of Metallica’s “Master of Puppets/
Nothing Else Matters/Scorpions -Winds Of Change”...all played with
traditional mariachi instrumentation.

Doors open at 10 pm. Metalachi takes the stage at midnight, entrance
is free for the show with priority entrance to SSMF festival pass holders.
