Originally from Vancouver , Canada , if I am remember well! Pop stuff from the early to mid-80's, a bit new-wavish , had lots of coverage from MTV canadian equivalent MuchMusic. Never my cup of tea! ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Think of the Oompa Loompa songs from the recent Charlie and the Chocolate factory and you get the gist of what Oingo Boingo is. -------------

Oingo Boingo is from Southern California, LA Area. There front
man was Danny Elfman, now Movie composer. It's why the Oompa
Loompa Songs sound so Oingo like. Because Elfman and Oingo are
one and the same. In fact, the Veruca Salt song is Elfman's voice
singing the vocals. The best way to get introduced to Oingo is to
check out the Farewell concert either on DVD or CD. I think you
can rent it on Netflix. Almost everyone that has never heard of
Oingo before I play them this show becomes a fan. Check it out. |
