Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the barrio, METALACHI has announced another run of dates through the southwest this fall!
In addition to METALACHI, the world's first - and only - heavy metal mariachi band, SHARK IN THE WATER will deliver a blistering tidal wave of non-stop, raw, gritty surf music.
"METALACHI is pumped to wrap up our tour schedule for 2019 at all our favorite venues across the southwest," says METALACHI manager Warren Moscow. "This run is something we always look forward to, as the whole southwest corridor has been like a second home for us for years...and this time we are bringing even more insanity to the run with the addition of SHARK IN THE WATER to the tour."
METALACHI's most recent full-length album, Tres, was released late last year and features covers of songs originally performed by artists such as JUDAS PRIEST, DIO, JOURNEY, GUNS N' ROSES, including METALACHI's popular cover of the QUEEN classic, "Bohemian Rhapsody".

Hailing from Hollywood, CA via Juarez, Mexico, METALACHI is a musical/comedy stage show that somehow seamlessly blends the world of SPINAL TAP and Cheech & Chong into an over-the-top stage spectacle. The band is comprised of a five-piece ensemble of classically trained mariachi musician siblings, that have been fused together with the power of heavy metal. Fans can expect an unlikely meshing of metal classics from artist such as METALLICA, SLAYER, OZZY OSBOURNE and more with traditional mariachi standards from the likes of Vicente Fernandez and Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan... all played with traditional mariachi instrumentation but with a stage show that strays far from traditional!
METALACHI takes their cues from outrageous stage shows like KISS, GWAR and ROB ZOMBIE with outrageous costumes, stage production, personas and onstage antics. The band features Vega De La Rockha on vocals, Queen Kyla Vera on violin, Kiko Cane on guitarron, Paco Halen on guitar, El Cucuy on trumpet and is managed by mysterious impresario Warren Moscow.
