The band's name comes from a Mexican slang term, chingón, loosely but closely enough meaning "badass" and/or "the shit".
Chingon also contributed the song "Malagueña Salerosa" to Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Volume 2 — which Rodriguez scored — and a live performance by the band was included on the film's DVD release.
On December 12, 2015, Chingon performed as the house band for Lucha Underground during a Season Two taping.
[1] When playing without Robert Rodriguez, the band is known as Del Castillo.
