The Pop legacy of Ennio Morricone!: The Plugz were the great Mexican-American punk band from early 80’s Los Angeles, led by Tito Lariva. They backed Bob Dylan at one point, and achieved cult fame on the “REPO MAN“ soundtrack with their spanish cover, “Hombre Secreto“ (“Secret Agent Man“). Less known is this closing track to the film which is a loving tribute to Morricone’s western scores. Tito went on to front The Cruzados and act in the Talking Heads’ film “True Stories“. He’s appeared with his band Tito Tarantula in Robert Rodriguez’s movies, including appropriately enough “ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO“.
