1986 was a very busy year for Boingo and Elfman, besides
doing the Back To School movie, there was touring and
roughly 5 months in the studio tracking what would
become "B-o-i-n-g-o" This also starts the next phase
of life for the band as it steered towards more melodic
material. This phase as I see it would last thru Dark
At The End Of The Tunnel and up to the change
in 1993. I was blessed to see them at year's end
in two shows at the Hollywood Paladium and
I have a ultra-rare boot of one of those nights
posted below. There's only one way to enjoy that
venue and that's PACKED. And that place was
packed with 5000+ out of control fans as
you'll hear on the tape the concert has to be
stopped several times as Danny tries to get
people to step back...It's the only way to fly!
There were just two official releases that year,
both vinyl and the early first single "Pain"
OINGO BOINGO - PAIN - FAN EDIT MUSIC VIDEO
Great job by this fan making his own video!
The only thing better than seeing a Boingo concert
was seeing TWO Boingo concerts in two nights!

1986 also saw the appearance of something called
"DEAD MAN'S CLUB" a special video Danny
made just for Secret Society members.
The Horror!!
