    It's so nuts to consider this man became one of my favorite film composers ever! Starting as basically a new wave art rocker

      Dig back deeper, he scored his brother Richard Elfman's film Forbidden Zone as The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo

      Rainbow Salad I've seen it and listen to it regularly. Yes its remarkable, especially considering he wasn't even formally trained. But the difference between Forbidden Zone and say The Wolfman is huge isn't it?

      Just saw an interview with him and Anthony Mason this morning. His whole career was stunning to him, but he went on to become one of the most prolific sound trackers of all time. Thank you Tim Burton for getting him started. TRIVIA....He is a Fonda....Married to Bridget Fonda!

    Back then I couldn’t have imagined Danny Elfman older, now this seems bizarre to see him young.

    I grew up a metal head, am now a middle aged metal head, and will be a metal head until the day I die, but Dead Man's Party has always been in my top ten all time favorite songs. It's just good old fashioned right in your face fun. Not to mention, it's makes a really good metal cover, so there's that as well.

    One of the rare occasions where a band sounds even better live. Definitely one of my top favorite Oingo Boingo songs, then again I haven’t heard one that I haven’t loved. So glad I found them, it’s always a great day when you can find great music. Plus, Danny Elfman is lookin’ so fine at this venue. Awesome show!

    Great story - I met Danny Elfman in 1982 at Licorice Pizza in La Mesa, CA (an inland suburb of San Diego). Oingo was there promoting a new 45 single of theirs and I had no idea who they were. I went over and they not only gave me a 45, they all signed it! Danny was super cool and so were the rest of them. I have no idea what happened to that 45, but I wish I still had it. Later they would explode in popularity, so it was a cool ‘80s story.
