Does Oingo Boingo count?
Well, they played their way into obscurity. I saw them in some kinda "obscure" club in Riverside, Ca (circa 1981) so I would classify them as obscure. =D
Wasn't crazy about the music, but it was a great party!

Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

Oingo-Boingo was *awesome* - both musically and in-concert.

So there.  :laugh:

Well, you going to pull those pistols boy,
or just whistle Dixie?

Danny Elfman (Oingo Boingo frontman) is probably the most prolific screen music writer of the last 20 years. Everything from Batman to the Simpsons theme song. The guy is a TRUE musical genius! Check credits sometime...he is truly amazing!

Speaking of obscure, my singer friend says to me, "I just auditioned for a Disco band and I got it!" I said, "Disco band? I didn't even know there were any disco bands around anymore."  :lol:
