Bang Tango

Musical Group

Bang Tango is an American hard rock/glam band formed in Los Angeles in the late 1980s, fronted by vocalist Joe Lesté, known for the debut album Psycho Cafe and a funk-tinged approach to street/glam rock.

Formed in Los Angeles in 1988, Bang Tango released the debut album Psycho Cafe (1989). Their style mixes hard rock and glam with funk influences. The band has received both critical praise for stylistic boldness and mixed reactions to live performances.

Two DeBaser pieces cover Bang Tango: a positive, contextual album review of Dancin' On Coals and a mixed live-report from a multi-band gig in Rome. The coverage highlights the band's funk-tinged hard rock and the uneven reception of their live shows.

For:fans of late-80s/early-90s glam metal and hard rock; listeners interested in funk-tinged rock and live gig reports.

 Dancin' on Coals, or dancing on hot coals, is a somewhat prophetic title if one looks back at what happened to the band in the years to follow.
