Oingo Boingo was a critically acclaimed American New Wave rock band of the
1980s better known for their influence, soundtrack contributions, and high
energy Halloween concerts than their chart successes. The band was founded
in 1972 as a performance art group called The Mystic Knights of the Oingo
Boingo; from 1976 it was led by songwriter/vocalist Danny Elfman, who later
achieved substantial renown as a composer for film and television.
The group's format was changed twice. In 1980, it changed from a
semi-theatrical music and comedy troupe into a new-wave octet, and
shortened its name to "Oingo Boingo". In 1994, the band reshuffled its
lineup, adopted a more modern rock sound and rechristened themselves
Boingo. The band retired in 1995, having reverted to the name Oingo Boingo.
