On this day in 1989, Dangerous TOYS released their eponymous debut album! Having formed in October 1987, the bad boys from Austin were signed to Columbia Records in the Spring of ‘88 after being discovered by a publishing rep at SXSW. Oddly enough, even though guitarist Danny Aaron is pictured on the back cover of the album (and credited for playing), Scott Dalhover actually played all the guitar parts on the recording. Another guitarist named Tim Trembley (who formed DT with singer Jason McMaster) co-wrote what would become the band’s biggest hit, but inexplicably jumped ship before the recording sessions began. The album rose to #65 on the Billboard 200 that year and was eventually certified Gold in 1994. Now go crank a little Teas'n, Pleas'n!!
