February 29, 2012
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Metalachi – The World’s First And Only Heavy Metal Mariachi Band
scheduled to perform at Boulder Station Casino in Las Vegas NV
on Friday March 9th. Las Vegas is the third stop for the
Hollywood based Metalachi on their 2012 Southwest Tour before
appearances at the Southwest Music Festival in Austin Texas.
The world famous Metalachi (www.metalachi.com) travels to Las Vegas
for the first time ever with a one night only show on Friday March 9th
at The Railhead inside Boulder Station Casino in Las Vegas.
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 throughout
the U.S. for over two years and have already built a devoted and diverse
fan base comprised of metalheads, hipsters, fashionplates, lowriders,
artwalkers, loft-dwellers, and street urchins alike.
Most recently, Metalachi gained critical acclaim when the group was hired
to perform at internationally renowned artist Shepard Fairy’s 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 the West Coast as well as headlining the official
after party for the 2011 Sunset Strip Music Festival in Los Angeles.
Metalachi was recently voted one of the best live shows in Southern California
by Examiner.com (#2 Ranking) and had the honor of opening up for heavy
metal royalty Testatment, Jackly and Vinnie Moore (of UFO fame) at the recent
NAMM convention in Anaheim CA. They appeared at the 2012 convention on
behalf of their artist endorsement by Coffin Case (www.coffincase.com) and
Dean Guitar (www.deanguitars.com)
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 -Wind Of Change”...all played with
traditional mariachi instrumentation.
Doors open at 10 pm. The La Nueva Live Mix starts immediately after
Metalachi at 11pm. Ladies are free until midnight and $5 after. $10 cover for
men all night long and are available at the door. This is a 21 and over show.
The Railhead is located at 4111 Boulder Highway Las Vegas NV, inside
Boulder Station Casino. Advance reservations are available by calling 702-432-777.
