Tito & Tarantula

Tito is back! The undisputed legend of Americana and desert rock is set to embark on a highly anticipated European tour in 2026, performing his greatest hits! Born in Mexico and raised in the wilds of Alaska, the son of a trapper, Tito Larriva began his career in Los Angeles.

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

He worked with Patrick Swayze (Roadhouse), Johnny Depp (Once Upon A Time In Mexico), Antonio Banderas (Desperados 2), Mel Gibson and Milla Jovovic 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 music for over 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 vampire band at the “Titty Twister” bar and the international success of the film allowed the band (opening for Joe Cocker) to perform for the first time in Europe.

The European release of their first album, “Tarantism”, featuring the hit songs 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 bear witness to Tito Larriva's exceptional talent as a singer and composer.
