Tito & Tarantula

Tito is back! The undisputed legend of Americana and desert rock is about to launch a much-anticipated European tour in 2026, revisiting his greatest hits! Born in Mexico and raised in the wild lands of Alaska, the son of a trapper, Tito Larriva began his career in Los Angeles.

With the PLUGZ, then the CRUZADOS, he quickly found success. Larriva then established himself on the Los Angeles music and film scene during the 1980s.

He has worked with Patrick Swayze (Roadhouse), Johnny Depp (Once Upon A Time In Mexico), Antonio Banderas (Desperados 2), Mel Gibson and Milla Jovovich in Wim Wenders' The Million Dollar Hotel, David Byrne (True Stories), Cheech Marin (Born In East LA), in the Oscar-winning short film Session Man, and R.

Rodriguez (Grindhouse). Tito Larriva has composed the music for more than 50 films (including the themes for Machete (2010) and Machete Kills (2013)) and television series.

The Tito & Tarantula adventure began when Robert Rodriguez invited them to collaborate on From Dusk Till Dawn (1995).

Their legendary performance as a group of vampires at the "Titty Twister" bar and the film's international success allowed the band (as support act for Joe Cocker) to perform in Europe for the first time.

The European release of their debut album, "Tarantism", featuring the standout tracks from "From Dusk Till Dawn", "After Dark", "Angry Cockroaches" and "Strange Face of Love", followed in 1997.

These songs mark the beginning of a new era for American film music and showcase Tito Larriva's exceptional talent as a singer and songwriter.
