TITO & TARANTULA

In the organizer's words:

After the first part of the Brincamos Tour in spring 2024, Tito & Tarantula will be touring Europe again in spring 2025 - with their new album "Brincamos" in their luggage, which will be released in March. Fans can expect a unique mix of wild rock 'n' roll, punk, psychedelic guitar sounds and the unmistakable, magical voice of Tito Larriva.

Featuring a top-class line-up, the tour celebrates the band's vast repertoire with well-known classics immortalized in cult films such as "Desperados", "From Dusk till Dawn", "Once upon a time in Mexico", "Machete" and "True Stories", songs from the new album "Brincamos" and some of the band's rarely heard favourites. Another musical experience from a unique band that has proven its live qualities at countless shows throughout Europe.

From his work in Hollywood's exploding early punk music scene with his band The Plugz, to producing bands like The Gun Club, to scoring films, building a formidable acting career and founding Fatima Records, Tito Larriva truly deserves the title bestowed upon him by the LA Times: Renaissance Man.

The Plugz were an inspirational beacon for the early Latino/Latinx punk community. Scholars of Latino culture credit the band for their unconventional version of "La Bamba" and their influence on Chicano/Xicanx rockers in Southern California. Larriva brought his unique sensibility to the soundtrack of the cult classic "Repo Man," with "Hombre Secreto," a Spanish-language version of the '60s classic "Secret Agent Man." His career continued with an energetic ferocity, building a prolific collection of credits including producing "The Pee-Wee Herman Show" cast album, The Gun Club's debut "Fire Of Love," his role in David Byrne's "True Stories," and in the '80s with Larriva's new incarnation, The Cruzados. In 1992, The Cruzados became the band Tito & Tarantula, with whom Larriva began his relationship with Robert Rodriguez. He appeared in half a dozen Rodriguez films, most notably "From Dusk Till Dawn", where his song "After Dark" played an important role. Tito & Tarantula have released seven albums to date.
