The Bronx sideshows, exclusivealbum stream

Tue 5th Feb, 2013 in Local News

The Bronx have locked in eight club shows while in Australia with the Groovin The Moo festival tour.

The Los Angeles-based crew will be marking their 10th anniversary and the release of their fourth album of hardcore anthems, which is (unsurprisingly) titled The Bronx IV. The new record, which you can stream exclusively below, marks a return to the band’s eviscerating punk style after two albums of tunes released under the Mariachi El Bronx banner.

The eight shows (including three at Sydney’s Annandale and two at the Corner in Melbourne) will feature support from Brisbane’s DZ Deathrays and Violent Soho. Local supports opening up the gigs include Chinese Burns Unit, Blacklevel Embassy and Batpiss.

The Bronx first toured here in 2004 and have been regular visitors to Australia, hitting our shores in 2011 and 2007 with the Soundwave Festival; in 2008 for Meredith; in 2009 for a combined The Bronx/Mariachi El Bronx tour; and in 2010 for the Melbourne Arts Festival. Last year the band returned to play two shows supporting Soundgarden as The Bronx while touring with Big Day Out in Mariachi form.

Reviewing their set opening for Soundgarden in Melbourne, FL reported that the band were “loud, ear bleedingly, brain meltingly loud. All clad in black and spruiking high energy hard rock and hardcore punk the deep fast bass rhythms contrast with singer Matt Caughthran’s high end screams and shouts.”

Their fourth album is out in just a couple of days' time, they've already been announced for the massive Groovin' The Moo festival in regional centres around the country, but today we're mighty stoked to finally be able to announced the full club dates for the mighty LA punk rockers The Bronx.

It was already hinted to us that they were going to be here a couple of weeks' back, but today we can confirm eight club shows (including three at the Annandale Hotel and two at Melbourne's Corner Hotel) with support from none other than Brisbane ARIA winning two-piece party punk sensations DZ Deathrays!

There are a couple of shows that the duo can't play, so those dates have been handballed to our favourite stoned grunge masters (and fellow Brisbane band) Violent Soho, who have spent a bit of time on the road with The Bronx in the US. Some pretty great local supports open up most shows, with the likes of Chinese Burns Unit, Blacklevel Embassy and Batpiss all getting involved.

The dates are as follows and tickets are on sale from Wednesday 13 February. Put it in your diary.

Wednesday April 24 – Annandale Hotel, Sydney (with Violent Soho and Hostile Objects)
Thursday April 25 – Annandale Hotel, Sydney (with DZ Deathrays)
Friday April 26 – Annandale Hotel, Sydney (with DZ Deathrays and Chinese Burns Unit)
Tuesday April 30 – Corner Hotel, Melbourne (with Violent Soho and Blacklevel Embassy)
Wednesday May 1 – Corner Hotel, Melbourne (with DZ Deathrays and Batpiss)
Thursday May 2 – Fowlers Live, Adelaide (with DZ Deathrays and Hightime)
Tuesday May 7 – The Hi-Fi, Brisbane (with DZ Deathrays and Spitfireliar)
Friday May 10 – Capitol, Perth (with DZ Deathrays)

DEM SUPPORTS!

Nas is a worthy substitute.

Sigh I miss home now that a Bronx show is rolling through, this will be the first tour that I will not be in attendance. I'm going to buy a tub of icecream and eat it crying in the shower.

Stugalug said on the 6th Feb, 2013

If you went in 2004 I'm jealous.

lineofbestfit said on the 6th Feb, 2013

who?

berlinchair101 said on the 6th Feb, 2013

I am so upset that you do not know who The Bronx are.

lineofbestfit said on the 6th Feb, 2013

i knew who they were when they did the first tour, didn't care. funeral for a friend are touring also, way better band

Demosthenes said on the 6th Feb, 2013

They were really good at the flood support show in Brisbane. Only time I ever saw a barrier at the Step Inn.

ROYALwithCHEESE said on the 6th Feb, 2013

and I will be taking the following Friday off from work sick.

Cpt_Pugwash said on the 6th Feb, 2013

This is brisbane related but....

That was for some wintergarden festival or some shit slated for the RNA showgrounds that went belly up if I remember correctly, so they moved all the bands to the Arena for two days of mini festivals.

I remember Matt pulling a kid out of the pit by his head and screaming/singing in his face. Sooo good.

lineofbestfit said on the 6th Feb, 2013

Children of.the swarm

p1owz0r said on the 7th Feb, 2013

I'm liking the album.

ROYALwithCHEESE said on the 8th Feb, 2013

Good on the boys for having tickets prices at under $60.

The Bronx and DZ for half of what a large headliner charges? DEAL!

Jose Cuervo said on the 13th Feb, 2013

Decided on shows 2 and 3

berlinchair101 said on the 13th Feb, 2013

Adelaide tickets sorted.

grattan said on the 11th Apr, 2013

Just confirmed. Matt from The Bronx will DJ at Cherry on Tuesday 30 April after their sold-out Corner Hotel show.

knate said on the 23rd Apr, 2013

A long shot, but if anyone knows of a couple of tickets to Wwednesday or even one for thursday hit me up. I was OS when they went onsale and i'm ready to neck myself

berlinchair101 said on the 25th Apr, 2013

That was fucking intense. Hold on to your balls, dudes and dudettes. The Bronx fucking destroyed the 'dale. The mix was great, the band were tight and the crowd was awesome.

I tried to do Moshlord Tyler proud and I was getting wild up the front for the first 5-6 songs. Then I copped a few elbows to the head and needed to rest until they played They Will Kill Us All. People were having fun and fpr the most part helping out abyone knocked down. Arsehole factor was minimal.
The set was a fair mix of iV, I and II.

GOTY so far. Well played, Bronx

MorningAfterboy said on the 25th Apr, 2013

Is it true there was a barrier up?

berlinchair101 said on the 25th Apr, 2013

Yissir.

Security didn't seem to dickish and there was plenty of stage diving and the like.

Jose Cuervo said on the 25th Apr, 2013

Jose will dive and walk on heads tonight

MorningAfterboy said on the 25th Apr, 2013

A fucking barrier at the Annandale. That shit better not be permanent.

berlinchair101 said on the 26th Apr, 2013

I wouldn't worry, it's not like the Annandale's permanent.

MorningAfterboy said on the 26th Apr, 2013

Amazing show. Increased security and the barrier made a little awkward to start off with, but people eventually really got into it. The band are on fire right now.

RocknrollHendo said on the 27th Apr, 2013

how was the setlist? I dream of Oceans of Class and Young Bloods...I want them bad.

Will also be an "After Party" at the Corner tonight with Matt DJ-ing in the front bar.

Would be fun to hang around for the festivities, but too old and too much work on Thursday morning to keep kicking on. :(

first melbourne gig last night was awesome... as always.

matt had a dig at groovin' the moo, saying it sucks and they were stoked to be finally off the leash and set free.
they played that way too, ripped through about an hour or so, good mix of old and new. crowd was super loose but no w4nkers. probably the best of the 4 times i've seen them.

did anyone get a set list? best i can remember it was:

unholy hand
shitty future
under the rabbit
too many devils
youth wasted
knifeman
white tar
heart attack american
6 days a week
white guilt
ribcage
rape zombie
valley heat
i got chills
history's stranglers

something like that, order is wrong and probably forgot a couple of them.

MorningAfterboy said last month on 1st

Fuck, you guys got Too Many Devils? Damn!

chalk said last month on 1st

yeah, pretty good chunk from iv. i was hoping for style over everything but no luck.
was your setlist much different?

MorningAfterboy said last month on 1st

This was Wednesday's, we didn't get TMD on Thursday but we did get AFTR.

chalk said last month on 1st

sweet. i would've loved inveigh. but pretty happy still.

seeing that reminded me that we got ribcage too, and possibly twkuawm... but can't remember for sure.
still pumped on the night, great gig.

ROYALwithCHEESE said last month on 1st

Does anyone want some Mariachi el Bronx sunglasses?

White drugs sent them to me when I bought some vinyl and both of them do not suit me at all.

I am not enough of a vato.

Person pays post.

Payment via paypal ( I will try to post super cheap)

Driving back from the Adelaide show........holy fuck..
I never thought a group could rival last months stooges gig......

Matt out Iggied Iggy and the bronx out stooged the stooges.I thought QOTSA were a tight playing group.

Thanks to Fowlers regular shitty sound (owner too much of a tight arse to ditch the Bose) I was on the right side of the stage and couldn't hear much of the between song banter but I did catch Matt regularly talking shit on one Jared Leto and his airport Yoga workouts.

Fucking amazing show for $48.50.....crowd were brilliant, security let people do what they wanted and no assclowns ruining peoples night...my only regret was not buying a tshirt on my way in.

ROYALwithCHEESE said last month on 3rd

I have no voice from yelling the lyrics to 'History's Stranglers' which closed the night.
