Really digging the response this year, F Yeah!
Tonight the Boingo time machine stops on 1990.
Dark At The End Of The Tunnel is generally
consider's their worst studio Lp but still a
decent one. I pretty much agree with that,
especially the production and general vibe
is generic and lacking passion. But if that be
the case then what was lacking in the studio
was sure made up in their live performances
as the band's frantic level of output onstage
really just got better and better with each
passing year. 1990's Halloween show at
Irvine was probably the best of the 6 or 7
years they did Irvine. A whopping 35 songs,
the 10/25/90 show is a stellar performance
and a must-have for Boingo fans, we put
the video and bootleg for ya below, enjoy!
Oingo Boingo: Dark at the End of the Tunnel
"Something in the phrasing was quietly amazing." -Bic Runga, Get Some Sleep Some years ago, I watched Oingo Boingo's Skeletons in the Closet video collection and sat, transfixed. The wacky, cherry-haired man gyrating about the place amid dwarves and twelve-year-old girls, surrounded by guys playing trumpets was simply captivating.

O.C. POPBEAT : Elfman's 'Tunnel' Vision : Oingo Boingo's leader takes an even dimmer view of a favorite songwriting theme--death--on the rock group's latest album.
Oingo Boingo's leader, Danny Elfman, began cataloguing the various ways in which he has approached his favorite songwriting theme: death. "Living with, dancing with, running from, toying with, tricking, etc.," he said during a recent phone interview, ticking off all the subheadings under capital 'D' in the Oingo Boingo songbook.
The Horror!!
