Oingo Boingo Former Members and The Untouchables

The closest you can get to the original band. NOT a tribute band! OBDP is essentially Oingo Boingo without the original lead singer Danny Elfman. Though the lineup can fluctuate depending on band members schedules I have seen the band perform several times with as many as five original members of Oingo Boingo including lead guitarist Steve Bartek and drummer Johnny Vatos. But no Danny Elfman you may say? It's a sad fact that Danny will most likely never perform with OB again. But you will not be disappointed with OBDP singer Brendan McCreary who does an excellent job filling in some enormous shoes. The songs sound just the same as you remember with but with Brenden bringing his own style of stage performance without trying to imitate the looks and moves of Danny. I've recommended OBDP to several old school OB fans and not a single one was disappointed and has returned to see multiple shows.

I had really looked forward to seeing them after 25+ years. They and I were regulars at the Kat Klub on Sunset in LA.

But they didn't show up for this gig—so there's not much to review!!
