THE PLUGZ Reel Ten (1984)

The Pop legacy of Ennio Morricone : The Plugz were the great MexicanAmerican 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.
