Where have I heard that song before? If you answered a Quentin Tarantino or Robert Rodriguez movie, then you know the music of Shockoe Records recording artists, Los Hermanos Alacranes (The Scorpion Brothers)(f/k/a Los Alacranes de RVA) the newest band in Richmond, Virginia. Founded in 2023 by singer/songwriter Paulo Franco and drummer Rob Lytle, Loc Hermanos Alacranes put together a band of first rate Richmond VA musicians to fuse latin melodies with American rock and roll. With guitarist Paul Pearce and bassist Brian Martin the band wowed audiences throughout RVA and central Virginia, with performances at the Church Hill Irish Festival, Richmond Folk Festival, Shockoe Sessions Live, Altria Theater’s Richmond Forum, and opening for Los Lobos at RVA’s The Broadberry.
Los Hermanos Alacranes features Paulo's original songs in English and Spanish. Paulo is a first generation American whose parents were raised in Medellín, Colombia. The band also includes covers in its repertoire by artists like The Mavericks, Los Lobos, Chingon, Cruzados, Tito and Tarantula, Alejandro Escovedo and more!! The songs are up tempo and designed to get you grooving!! You'll hear these songs with an authentic voice (Paulo speaks and sings fluent Spanish), filled with the passion and energy that they convey musically and story wise. In fact, the band takes its name from the song Alacrán y Pistolero, one of the tracks on Chingon's 2010 eponymous release. Alacrán is the Spanish word for Scorpion! You'll be transported to towns in Mexico, wind swept evenings in Havana, the mountains of Medellín and the deserts of Texas and the American Southwest. Stories of love both actual and unrequited, tragedy and adventure - in English and in Spanish. Are you ready to get stung? Because Los Hermanos Alacranes are ready to rock!! LLENO DE VENENO!!
Una banda de rock estadounidense que celebra el amor, los amigos y el mariachi en inglés y español.
