CALIFORNIA punk types The Bronx should liven up Southampton’s Talking Heads venue on Wednesday.

Famously signed to Island Records after playing just 12 gigs, the band has experimented with hard rock but has returned to its punk roots in recent years.

The Bronx also exist in a unique dual persona as a mariachi band, attacking Spanish music with the same verve and venom as they do rock ’n’ roll and are bringing Mariachi El Bronix to the south coast on Wednesday with second support act, UK hardcore types The Ghost of a Thousand.
