Dangerous Toys came roaring out of Austin, Texas, in 1987, with Jason McMaster on lead vocals, Scott Dalhover on guitar, Mike Watson on bass and Mark Geary on drums, and they played hard rock with a wink, the lyrics often good for a laugh.
Their self-titled debut on Columbia Records in 1989 was the breakthrough, loaded with swagger, sleaze and big gang-shout choruses, and "Teas'n Pleas'n" and "Scared" were the singles, alongside the grin of "Sport'n a Woody". It went gold five years after it came out. Hellacious Acres followed in 1991 and Pissed in 1994, neither as big as the debut but both well received.
The fourth album, The R*tist 4*merly Known as Dangerous Toys, in 1995, flopped with fans and critics alike, and the band went on hiatus. They resurfaced in 1999 and have carried on since mostly as a live act, with a live album in the catalog and hints of a fifth studio record now and then.
