The band is best known for its songs, "After Dark", "Back to the House That Love Built", "Strange Face of Love", and "Angry Cockroaches", as well as for its role in Robert Rodriguez's film From Dusk Till Dawn as the band performing at the "Titty Twister" nightclub. "After Dark" was the track played during Salma Hayek's iconic exotic dance scene in that film, and later became the theme for From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series.
From Dusk till Dawn is a 1996 American action black comedy horror thriller film directed by Robert Rodriguez and written by Quentin Tarantino. It stars George Clooney, Tarantino, Harvey Keitel and Juliette Lewis. After enjoying modest success at the box office, the film has achieved cult status.
Inside the group approaches the bartender, who refuses to serve them as only bikers and truckers are allowed. The bartender relents after Jacob successfully argues that he is a trucker, but Seth remains annoyed by the disrespect. They take a table and Seth encourages everyone to drink as the strip show begins. Richie takes special notice of the club's star performer, Santánico Pandemónium (Salma Hayek) during an extended solo performance, after which Chet Pussy and some others approach the group, looking to settle the score with the Geckos. In a short confrontation, Richie is stabbed in his already wounded hand. Seeing his blood, Santánico transforms into a horrific vampire and attacks him, bleeding him to death.

Chaos ensues as the employees, the strippers and the house band (Tito & Tarantula) are all revealed to be vampires. One of the dancers locks the door, and the vampires start feeding on the bar patrons. Seth, the Fullers, and a few other customers fight back with crosses and wooden stakes until they gain control of the bar-room. Richie rises from the dead as a vampire and Seth, realizing he has no other choice, kills him with a wooden stake. Seth and the Fullers quickly make an alliance with two other survivors, Sex Machine (Tom Savini) and Frost (Fred Williamson). Seth convinces the group that Jacob is their best weapon if he rediscovers his faith.
