Things that get a special star on our streaming calendar …
Punk stalwarts The Bronx and their charro-suited alter egos Mariachi El Bronx will merge into one supergroup for “Liquid Death Presents … The Bronx and Mariachi El Bronx Halloween Dead Stream.” They’re calling it “equal parts powerhouse punk, melancholy mariachi and hallucinogenic horror,” and it premieres at 5 p.m. Oct. 30 and is available to stream through Nov. 1.
Says guitarist Joby Ford: “We’ve been home so long – a 10 person band makes perfect sense right now.” Tickets here.
