Metalachi who is billed as “The World’s First and Only Heavy Metal Mariachi Band”, will be appearing at the Turf Club on Thursday, July 19. Out of Hollywood, California, they play music by J. S. Bach, Metallica, ACDC, Led Zeppelin and others, including a few originals.
According to Metalachi band members, the idea of meshing Mariachi music and Rock n’ Roll came from an idea in listening to the Paranoid (album) from Black Sabbath. One of their favorite songs was Iron Man so they decided to modify the lyrics to the tune of Iron Tapatio which is a blend of the Jarabe Tapatio (often called the national dance of Mexico, and better known internationally as the Mexican hat dance) and the Iron Man song. One day they decided to play the Iron Tapatio at a Quinceañera, to spice things up and do something different for the people and that is when they saw the people get excited, throw up their rocker horn finger signs and start dancing. It was at that moment when they knew they were on to something and they decided to see more of that energy and excitement in future performances.
Doors open at 8:00 pm and the show starts at 9:00 pm. Opening for Metalachi is Madness Malaga. Madness Malaga formed in 2014 through an evolution of unique and characteristic rhythms that fuse rock, surf, cumbia, and a touch of musical madness that soars with lyrical poetry, making Madness Malaga the new sound of Latinx rock in Minnesota.
