Bang Tango is celebrating their 25th anniversary. It is hard to believe 25 years have passed since \u201cSomeone Like You\u201d roared on MTV. <\/p>\n<p>Bang Tango always had an interesting Funk-blues infused sound. They had a different vibe than  most \u201880s bands. Joe LeSte\u2019 is still a dynamic front man. The band has gone through many line-up changes sparking the new addition of guitarist Rowan Robertson. Rowan\u2019s claim to fame is that he toured with Ronnie James Dio. The line-up also features Lance Eric on bass, Joe LeSte\u2019 on vocals and Timmy Russell on drums.<\/p>\n<p>Bang Tango opened with \u201cReady Set Go.\u201d Joe and company were on fire. It was a Thursday night and the band was ready to party. Next up \u201cDancing On Coals.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Highlights of the set included \u201cWrap Your Wings.\u201d The band also performed new song \u201cBring On The World.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Every song was hard hitting, as the Funk infused grind prevailed. Joe has a vocal style that is kind of Bluesy. He is also a huge AC\/DC fan. The band performed one cover, the ZZ Top hit \u201cTush.\u201d Bang Tango has a busy tour schedule on tap and will be performing at M3 this Summer.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most underrated and hard working bands in the business, Bang Tango did not disappoint. It has been a while since I had seen the band, and Rowan Robertson is a great addition!  Be sure to check out Bang Tango! Singer Joe LeSte\u2019 still has what it takes and the band just keeps getting better and better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">by Deb Rao &#8211; Senior Columnist &#8212; Feb. 6, 2015 at Vamp&#8217;d in Las Vegas, NV. &#8212; One of my favorite bands from the \u201880s Bang Tango made a special appearance at Vamp\u2019d in Las <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/2015\/live-bango-tango-concert-review\/\" title=\"LIVE! | Bango Tango\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":48274,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12395],"tags":[10783,307,10784,164],"class_list":{"0":"post-48272","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arcconrvw2015","8":"tag-bango-tango","9":"tag-concert-review","10":"tag-joe-leste","11":"tag-live"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48272"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48272\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48274"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hardrockhaven.net\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
