Win tickets to see The Bronx at the Double Door Oct. 7
Anarchy is taking over Chicago! The annual punk rock and metal music festival, Riot Fest, is packing 17 shows into five days, among them a performance by California hardcore band The Bronx. In a swift twist of luck, The A.V. Club has a pair of tickets to the show on Thursday, Oct. 7 at Double Door to give away! Interested parties should send an e-mail to ochicago@theonion.com with “The Bronx” in the subject line. A winner will be picked the morning of the show.
The Bronx, curiously not from New York, but from Southern California, has been playing a blend of ’80s punk and modern rock since 2002. But lately, the group has been combining punk rock with a mariachi persona. Its latest album, El Bronx, which it recorded as Mariachi El Bronx, puts some traditional California style back into the band. A cross between Black Flag and Los Lobos? Brilliant.
