Where have I heard that song before? If you answered a Quentin Tarantino or Robert Rodriguez movie, then you know the music of Los Alacranes de R.V.A. the newest band in Richmond, Virginia featuring Paulo Franco on guitar and vocals, Paul Pearce on lead guitar and vocals, Bryan Martin on bass and vocals and Rob Lytle on drums and vocals. Together, these musicians have decades of experience playing in venues throughout Virginia and the United States.

The band came together one night at a party where Paulo played some of his original songs in Spanish along with one of his favorites, La Malagueña Salerosa. Rob approached Paulo about putting a band together emphasizing songs in Spanish, and the seeds were planted. Rob called Bryan, Paulo called Paul and just like that, a band was born. Rob and Bryan form the rhythm section for Cashmere Jungle Lords and the Bopcats; Rob has also played with Crome Daddy Disco and the Bellevue Rhythmires); Fuzzy with My Son the Doctor; Paul can be seen in his other projects Vexine, For Those About to Rock, and Blue Suede Sun; and Paulo with his solo acoustic project and most recently with the Freightliners.
