Interminable is a Philly-based band creating original music in Spanish, weaving together Mexican son jarocho, jazz, and rock to celebrate queer and trans, Black and brown voices.  By bringing together powerhouse musicians deeply versed in a multitude of genres, they create a new musical world where all our worlds can fit.  Their energetic, inspirational live shows remind us of the joy we can forge when we come together in song and celebration.  Their recorded works incorporate musical textures that transcend genre, taking listeners on a journey across ancestral memory and self-empowerment.  

Born out of a chance encounter on the train in 2015, Interminable debuted a week later, opening for cumbia supergroup Viento Callejero.  Over these last 11 years, the band has amassed an impressive portfolio, playing across the East Coast and Mexico with renowned artists like Reyna Tropical, Las Cafeteras, and La Santa Cecilia.  They headlined Philly's Latin Punk Fest, the Porchfest Afterparty, and performed sold-out shows at the Mann Center, World Café Live, and as a featured artist with Journey Arts.   

The musicians of Interminable create a singular blend - bandleader Ximena Violante on vocals, electric guitar, and jarana, a guitar-like Mexican instrument.  Trumpet player and music producer Marty Gottlieb-Hollis joins forces with trombonist St. Clair Simmons III for an unmatched horn section.  Matt Jernigan delivers unmatched energy on drumset, while Erik Kramer and Roger A. Martínez adorn the bass and guitar lines.  Together, they honor the memory of their late bassist, Yeho Bostick.

Their debut album, rebirth::renacer, brought together 15 musicians from across the US and Mexico.  Check out the music video for Preludio + El Agua, featuring indigenous Zapoteca rapper Mare Advertencia Lirika.

Their latest release, The Lifegivers EP, brings the band's sound to new heights.  From a soulful cumbia to a street carnival, a traditional Mexican tune re-imagined as a rock song to celebrate Black+brown trans women, it is what celebrated artist Xenia Rubinos calls “a joyful celebration of resilience.”  

All of our music is available on streaming, as well as on Bandcamp, where the proceeds go directly to us.  As an independent project, everything we do is thanks to your incredible support.  ¡Muchas gracias!
