My questions are these: without having ever heard this band, or knowing anything at all about them other than their name...

...what would be your first thoughts about a band named Mariachi Static? Would you be willing to take a blind chance on them? What would you think they might sound like?

Thanks!

I would buy 50 copies of their albums and dance to them with my fellow Spanish/Mexican music fans while drinking margaritas.

Sounds like a punk take on mariachi music or a mariachi take on punk music. I'd only go if I knew there would be dosaritas and a pit.

I don't think there is.

Anyway, I like the name. It's pretty cool.

Sounds like ambient or post rock with fiery scratchy little bursts that careen all over the place. Whatever that means.

Something like this... minus the "fiery."

Heh...I just got an image of Rolling Stones songs done mariachi style. The album could be called Her Satanic Mariachi Request.

Interesting. I never saw that in the name. It's from a song lyric, by the way.
