Category: BANG TANGO

Universal Music Japan has started this year a curious but more than welcomed campaign: the reissue of long time out of print albums from their catalog titled ‘HR/HM 1000’, that meaning Hard Rock / Heavy Metal at the price of 1000 Yen = about 9 USD.
After their celebrated debut, with this 2nd effort “Dancin’ On Coals” BANG TANGO expanded even more their sound and style, resulting in a unique piece of music and one of the most original albums from the early 90s rock music scene.
Musically, “Dancing On Coals” proved a huge step forward for the band, effectively establishing a style and sound of their own.
From their debut it became clear that Bang Tango had an attitude towards heavy funk; on this second album the funky groove comes out more refined and in perfect alignment with the leading / melodic instruments of their sound.

After playing the Californian club circuit where they made a name by themselves with hot live shows – one of them recorded and released by themselves – BANG TANGO were signed by a major and recorded this pretty killer “Psycho Cafe“, their official debut album. “Psycho Cafe” wasn’t the major hit it deserved to be, but even so, this excellent album demonstrates that not all bands that were part of L.A. glam metal in the late ’80s /early ’90s played party fluff.
