Let me warn ya, there's a big difference in sound between Psycho Cafe and Dancin' On Coals IMO. Dancin' has much more "groove" and is more varied than Psycho; it's sort of like a cross between Poison and Red Hot Chili Peppers with a dash of Rod Stewart thrown in for good measure ("Midnight Struck").

going to start out with Psycho

Good choice. I like both Psycho and Dancin' but I think they're way different. Later Bang Tango albums sound like Beautiful Creatures to me so they're good but that Dancin' On Coals album just sticks out like a sore thumb in the Bang Tango catalog IMO.

I have some friends that were in this band called The Zeros. Went to see them when they opened gor Bang Tango at Santa Monica Civic Center. Bang Tango was good onstage, but for some reason.....I never got any tunes by them.

I never noticed that much of a difference between PC and DoC. I like 'em both equally. Maybe I'll give them a fresh spin. Haven't played either one in their entirety in awhile. I may have purchased Dancing on Coals first. I'm pretty sure I got that as a new release on cassette and eventually upgraded both albums to cd later on.

I could never fully get into Beautiful Creatures. It's ok I guess. Even now, I'll think about trading it off, then I give it a listen and decide to keep it. Then it sits on the shelf again until I decide to trade it and the cycle begins again. I only have their debut. Never bothered with the follow-up. Did they do anything after that?
