Little Bitch
''Little Bitch'' is the third album by Tito & Tarantula, released in 2000. It was the band's first album not to feature bassist Jennifer Condos, and showed a major departure from their former style. Instead, they now incorporated the use of synthesizer moog pedals, giving the music a much stronger pop-rock sound. In addition, they recruited the assistance of several female backing vocalists on most songs, instead of relying on the other band members to back up Tito Larriva's vocals. This musical element is something the band also featured on their next album, 2002's ''Andalucia'', which featured bassist Io Perry singing backing vocals on almost every song. The rest of the new elements featured on ''Little Bitch'' were mostly abandoned on ''Andalucia'', which returned a sound more similar to that featured on the band's second album, 1999's '' Hungry Sally & Other Killer Lullabies''. The album also contained songs written by new songwriters. Charlie Midnight, who had co-written ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
