DANGEROUS TOYS: Long-Awaited 'XX' DVD To See Light Of Day

May 16, 2009

DANGEROUS TOYS' long-awaited DVD set, "XX", will finally see light of day later this year.

"XX" is a two-hour performance DVD with all the hits, deep cuts and favorite TOYS material done live at the Red Eyed Fly in Austin, Texas, with all the band's friends in attendance.

The debut self-titled, platinum-selling DANGEROUS TOYS album was originally released May 9, 1989. This concert DVD marks the anniversary and celebrates the good times all have had with the TOYS in these fine 20 years. "XX" includes songs the band has never played live before, and a bonus demo song called "Shot To Hell" from the writing sessions from 1992 — never before heard anywhere.

Frontman Jason McMaster spoke to Anarchy Music in 2007 about the upcoming DVD set. He said, "DANGEROUS TOYS officially started in October of 1987. 20 years and four or five albums later, a few reunion shows, a couple of trips to Japan and some touring with our idols, we've had a really great time. This is just a celebratory 'thank you' to the fans and to rock 'n' roll. The DVD was filmed at a club here in Austin where we all still live. When we do reunion shows, generally people fly in from all over the place, Japan and all over the states. The phones blow up and it gets kind of crazy. It's fun and it gave us more reason to celebrate the whole thing. We go real deep into most of the recordings as far as the material we did. We did 'Demon Bell', which is the song we did on the soundtrack to Wes Craven's 'Shocker'. It had never been played live until this particular show. The cover will be done by Tommy Pons, the original clown artist who also lives here in Austin now. We're trying to do it as a real DANGEROUS TOYS release, except that unlike most major label releases, this one will be fully band endorsed. No corporate decisions on this one."
