From his early days in Hollywood’s explosive Punk scene with his band THE PLUGZ to producing bands like THE GUN CLUB, composing film scores, building a remarkable acting career, and founding Fatima Records, Tito Larriva has more than earned the title once given to him by the LA Times: “Renaissance Man.” Founded by Tito Larriva in Los Angeles in 1978, THE PLUGZ were a pioneering force in the early Latino / Latinx Punk movement, leaving a lasting impact on generations of Rock bands with their West Coast Punk sound. Fans of Latino culture still appreciate their unconventional take on ‘La Bamba’, which influenced the Chicano / Xicanx Rock scene in Southern California.Larriva’s Spanish-language version of the 1960s classic ‘Secret Agent Man’, titled ‘Hombre Secreto’, became a standout track in the cult classic film ‘Repo Man’. His career has remained dynamic ever since, including key roles such as producing ‘The Pee-Wee Herman Show’ CAST album, producing THE GUN CLUB’s debut ‘Fire of Love’, acting in David Byrne’s ‘True Stories’, and forming THE CRUZADOS in 1984. By 1992, THE CRUZADOS evolved into TITO & TARANTULA, marking the beginning of Larriva’s long-standing collaboration with Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. He appeared in several of their films, most notably ‘From Dusk Till Dawn’, where his song ‘After Dark’ and his legendary performance in the Titty Twister Club became iconic moments in cinema history.
Now, TITO & TARANTULA are back with their highly anticipated album ‘!Brincamos!’, a musical odyssey that delves into the depths of the human soul, infused with the raw energy of Rock and the rich heritage of Latino / Latinx Punk Rock. Each track is a testament to Larriva’s unique ability to transcend boundaries, genres, and language, crafting a sound that resonates worldwide. With raw ballads and powerful Rock anthems, ‘!Brincamos!’ is a musical masterpiece, continuing the legacy of TITO & TARANTULA in a way that is both fresh and deeply rooted in their history.
As they prepare to release their new album, TITO & TARANTULA are also gearing up for their ‘!Brincamos!’ European Tour, bringing their infamous live performances to audiences across the continent. Fans can expect a fusion of Rock & Roll and cinematic storytelling, creating an unforgettable concert experience. With Tito’s intense vocals and the band’s magnetic stage presence, this tour is set to be one of the musical highlights of the year. With the release of ‘!Brincamos!’ and the start of their European tour in March 2025, TITO & TARANTULA invite both longtime and new fans to join them on this exciting journey.
