[1] The band then began to play shows and gained a following on the Sunset Strip scene in Hollywood, packing all the popular clubs and venues at the time, which led to a bidding war with many major labels.

[1] Their first release — the Live Injection EP — came out in early 1989, in advance of their Howard Benson-produced debut album, Psycho Café,[1] which reached number 58 on the Billboard top 200 chart.

In 1993, after Dancin' on Coals proved to be not the success MCA had hoped for, the band's label still honored Bang Tango's record contract with a third LP.

Hoping to recapture the success of their first album, the band decided to re-team with Psycho Café producer Howard Benson for Love After Death.

The album ended up being shelved by MCA, due to the label feeling a return would not be possible with how much was already invested monetarily for the recording.

[citation needed] After recording was complete, guitarist Kyle Stevens made the decision to leave the band.

[3] Frontman Joe Lesté went on to sign a record deal with Warner Bros. and form the hard rock band Beautiful Creatures in 2001.

In 2002, Joe Lesté once again reformed the band, this time as its sole original member, and released the Ready to Go album.

[3] In 2010, the original lineup minus frontman Joe Lesté reformed with a different vocalist and performed two shows as Bang Tango Redux.

Over the course of four years Fortier turned the project into a feature-length documentary titled Attack of Life: The Bang Tango Movie.
