We all greatly appreciate the response that \u2018Charming Devil\u2019 continues to receive. We took time to sit back and soak everything in over the last year. All the good, and not so good, and in the end what doesn\u2019t kill you makes you stronger (we think somebody famous said that).<\/p>\n<p>Well, we\u2019ve been quiet long enough. It\u2019s time to kick the tires and get things back into gear. So, let\u2019s start off with the obvious question that is on everyone\u2019s mind. WHO is our new singer? Of course finding the right guy was going to prove to be a daunting task to say the least. However, we were up to the challenge, and we couldn\u2019t be more pleased with our selection. So folks, we give you Chas West! Please welcome him to the TANGO DOWN fold!<\/p>\n<p>As a front man, Chas first came to prominence as lead vocalist for THE JASON BONHAM BAND, featuring Jason Bonham on drums (son of the late, great John Bonham of LED ZEPPELIN), recording two major-label albums (Sony\/MJJ) and touring the world extensively.<\/p>\n<p>Chas has also held the lead vocal slot and toured with George Lynch\u2019s LYNCH MOB. In between LYNCH MOB stints, Chas fronted the HOLLYWOOD ALLSTARZ (which included members of BLACK SABBATH, QUIET RIOT, DIO, RATT, &amp; DOKKEN). Chas has also been given the ultimate nod of approval from one of the premier legends of Rock and Roll, Mr. Robert Plant (LED ZEPPELIN). After hearing Chas for the first time, Plant had this to say, &#8220;He sounds like me when I was his age&#8221;. No better compliment or stronger validation could be asked for.<\/p>\n<p>Chas West is a vocal wailer who has the power and grit of Chris Cornell, and the range and rock star attitude of Robert Plant. We could not be happier or more excited to welcome such an amazing talent into the band. Together we will not disappoint. Songs are currently being written, six of which have been approved and checked off that pesky To-Do List. One of these new songs may just be the best TANGO DOWN song ever!<\/p>\n<p>TANGO DOWN, 2015 we are back and we are BIG, BAD &amp; BULLETPROOF!<\/p>\n<p>New album \u2018Bulletproof\u2019 coming Fall 2015 on Kivel Records<\/p>\n<p>And now, a video message from Chas himself!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kivel Records Announce\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bPofRWGy6VE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">Melodic hard rockers Tango Down have released the following update: We said we were going to lay low for a few months and enjoy the holidays.
