Inspired by the Writer/Director Quentin Tarantino, these Melbourne musicians formed The Tarantinos based on their fascination with his incredible, eclectic soundtracks.

Matching the famous Director’s flair for doing things his own way, they bring their own brand of raucous, high energy performance to the stage. They play the best known, (and some lesser known) songs from many of his classic films, which includes Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Death Proof, Kill Bill and more. The Tarantinos embody all the hard hitting style of the films from which they play.

With audio samples from the films, sharp costumes and an attitude to match, The Tarantinos bring their energy across the various musical genres that accompany films that have inspired them for many years. The Surf/Rock classics like Dick Dale’s “Misirlou”, The Lively Ones “Surf Rider”, George Baker Selection’s “Little Green Bag” and April March’s Chick habit are just a few of the amazing selection.
