Tarantism

Tarantism is the debut album by Los Angeles rock band Tito & Tarantula, released in 1997. The album was released following the band's growing popularity after having their songs featured on the soundtracks for the Robert Rodriguez films From Dusk Till Dawn and Desperado, who also co-produced the album. Several members of the band were also featured in From Dusk Till Dawn, playing as the band in the "Titty Twister" bar, performing "After Dark" and "Angry Cockroaches". Music videos were made for "After Dark" and "Back to the House", using clips from the films mixed with footage of the band performing them. "After Dark" and "Back to the House" were co-written by rhythm guitarist/lead vocalist Tito Larriva's former bandmates in the Cruzados. "Back to the House" was written by Larriva with former bassist Tony Marsico, along with Charlie Midnight and Marsico's wife, Valerie Marsico. "After Dark" was written by Larriva and former lead guitarist Steven Hufsteter while they were still in the Cruzados. Hufsteter later joined Tito & Tarantula as a second lead guitarist in 2002, and is currently still in the band.
