New Tango Down album coming on October 19th


Exciting news in the Tango Down camp as the group consisting of lead vocalist Chas West (West Bound, Resurrection Kings), guitarist Scott Miller, bassist Axel K. Gessner and drummer Keith Michaels will be releasing a new studio album titled Number 6 via Kivel Records on October 19, 2021.

The following message was posted on Kivel Records‘ Facebook page earlier today:

“People that know us, know they can expect us to sometimes be secretive when working on something. They can also expect surprises and us keeping people on their toes.

Now with that said. Last night we finished something that we started over a year ago. Something that came to a grinding stop thanks to a pandemic. Well this past week all of that changed. We were never out, we were never defeated. We were just delayed.

Nonetheless, we are BACK, and Last night we nailed it.

TANGO DOWN TANGO DOWN

New Tango Down coming this October!!!!

Scott Chas Axel and Keith still got some gas left in the tank !!”

Tango Down‘s last studio album Bulletproof finished at #2 on the Sleaze Roxx’s Top Ten Albums of 2016 to which Sleaze Roxx stated:

“This is one time where the output actually matched the hype. Prior to hearing Tango Down‘s Bulletproof, I kept reading how great the album was and how it was one of the best records of the year. As it turns out, that is indeed the case. Not many bands could survive having four different lead vocalists when they have only released five albums, let alone thrive under such circumstances, but Tango Down have proven that it is worth making the changes to get it right. I don’t know who recruited lead vocalist Chas West (Lynch Mob, Red Dragon Cartel, Resurrection Kings) into the band. Perhaps it’s the principal (John Kivel) of Tango Down‘s long-time record label Kivel Records or guitarist Scott Miller himself, but whatever the case, it was a great move and the end result is an amazing album that reminds me of the magic that can be heard on Whitesnake‘s self-titled blockbuster album in 1987. Bulletproof is filled with melodies, catchy hooks and stellar harmonies, and is a must have album for 2016. Given the band’s musical carousel history in terms of lead singers, I really hope that we will get at least one more Tango Down album with West handling the lead vocals.”

'This Is Gonna Hurt' out August 1st.

From Eonian Records:

Indianapolis, Indiana - The Eonian Record’s Rockshop is super excited to share that our good friends at Kivel Records are releasing the new TANGO DOWN ‘This Is Gonna Hurt’ album due out on August 1st. Pre-Order TODAY, along with the new M!SS CRAZY and HAILMARY releases.

Not even a Pandemic can keep them away from finishing what they started. The events that unfolded over the last two years in the end only delayed them. Matter of fact, TANGO DOWN took the imposed shutdown and used it to their advantage to fine-tune the band's follow-up to ‘Bulletproof’. Making a very good album into a GREAT album.  

Many bands maintain or try to match their previous effort. TANGO DOWN has been blessed with the strangest of luck they manage to outshine each release. Proving their only competition is themselves! Hands down, this is the band's BEST album to date. We challenge any listener to say otherwise. Scott and Company took everything that was the strongest qualities of each release and combined them into one strong album that flows perfectly from beginning to end. A roller coaster ride of rock n roll if there ever was one. An album you can listen to at the gym, in your car, or at the beach. You're going to sink your teeth so deep that THIS IS GONNA HURT!   

TANGO DOWN is back, and folks, it’s gonna hurt!

TANGO DOWN is: Chas West on Lead Vocals, Scott Miller on Guitar, Axel K. Gessner on Bass, and Keith Michaels on Drums

TANGO DOWN ‘This Is Gonna Hurt’ Tracklist:

1. This is Gonna Hurt 2. Fantasy 3. Scream 4. Lying To Myself 5. Nobody Gets Alive 6. Standing Tall 7. Until We Meet Again 8. Forget What You Know 9. Let It Go! 10. Dirty Penny

Wow, really surprised at the lack of fanfare around this one... I guess the pushed back release dates put people off? I must admit, I missed this thread and had no idea they'd released a new album. Got my ears on it the other day, though, and it's pretty cool. I can't imagine a fan of the band being disappointed. 

My favourite cuts are the very catchy 'Fantasy' (above), the delicious melodic rocker 'Lyin' to Myself' and the rather magnificent ballad 'Until We Meet Again,' which sadly I can't find on youtube. But it's a great track... better than I expected from this, to be completely honest. 

I think this is a good album, and definitely deserves more attention. Good songs, and a strong 80's style represented. 

My one issue, if I had one, is that I don't love the backing / harmony vocals and it's not the first time. They're okay, but there's just something a little off about them to me. But let that not put you off a good album.

    • I grew up listening to Cuntry, and have kinda wanted to get back into it. But not the typical New Cuntry shit. So I'll give this a try. 
    • I always forget about this band, and then I listen to them and am like, "Oh, yeah, they're good!" And then forget about them for another year. 
    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
