The American new wave band Oingo Boingo was formed by
Danny Elfman in 1979 and were known for their experimental
music, which can be described as a mix of rock, ska, pop and
world music. The band’s body of work spanned 17 years, with
various genre- and line-up changes. In 1994, after shortening
their name into just Boingo, they released their final studio album
Boingo. At that time, the line-up consisted of Elfman, Steve
Bartek, and John Avila. The album features a cover version of
The Beatles’ “I Am The Walrus”. Elfman would later become the
legendary film composer he now is. Spiderman, Batman, Alice in
Wonderland, the Simpsons tune- too name but a few- are all by
his hand.
Boingo is available on black vinyl and includes a 4-page booklet.
