Is anyone else in the L.A./Orange County, Ca. area going to see Dead Man’s Party on Holloween? I’ve seen them once before. The group is great except for the female back up singers, whom I find rather distracting. The singer Rob Elfaizy is quite good though. He sounds pretty close to Elfman, but his moves are not totally convincing. Hopefully, he’s worked on that. Aside from that, the band really rocks. The were pretty tight, except the sound sucked. Oh well. it’s better than nothing, huh?
@!#$…although I’m not *quite* as pissed off about this shenanigan, as it’s rather harmless. If you want to post as me, then fine; I give up. However, for the rest of you who care, I do NOT live in the LA/Orange County area…nowhere near it, in fact…and I have never seen DMP (although I’d really like to…but not going to spend $$ for a plane ticket just to fly out to see them). For those of you who have heard them, I hope they’re good. Happy listening.
-E (you know who this is…at least I hope you do…if you’re confused, check the email addy listed. And to you, Marshmellow: don’t dare take my email address. Damn, now that I said that, you actually will take it…annoying little @!#$!)
I can understad why the females would want to be involved — I wish I had any talent at all, or I’d be right there with ’em.
However, maybe there shouldn’t be any female vocals in an Oingo Boingo tribute band… seeing as there were no female vocals in Oingo Boingo… catch my drift?Hopefully Dead Man’s Party will get a bit bigger, at least among Boingo fans, enough to spread out about the country. I would love to see just how Rob Elfaizy does credit to the man himself.
Anyone going to see them — advise them to get some sound clips up on their site, to share with the rest of us!I saw them play and you are right Erika. They were good, but the ladies gotta go. They had nice voices, but i’m too much of a purist. Oingo Boingo had no females in the group and if you are going to pay tribute to a band, I think, one should stay true to the truth. I can see if they were to bring them out for a song or may’be to be used as a prop, bu if you need help with backing vocals, may’be the band needs a new line-up.
Mr. E –
Okay, I agree with you (and the imposter Erika/Marshmellow pod person) that if a tribute band has ladies in it, yet is supposed to be paying tribute to a group of all men, that seems a bit…odd. I’ve never seen them, but I imagine it would be like an Elvis impersonator dressing up as a female Elvis…or something. Maybe they’re the guys’ girlfriends/love interests or something…who knows?
“may’be to be used as a prop…”
Geez, man, “a prop?” Damn! Women are more than eye candy! (I’m not sure if that’s how you meant it, but that’s how I took it). Then again, I’m just another loudmouth, so I really would take offense to that…

I get email from this group all the time, despite asking them not to include me on their mailing list because I don’t live in L.A.

um.. refer if you will to beverly theatre 1987. yes, there was a wifebeater under that flannel shirt and suspenders and yes you could see this during grey matter. and yes the only song he didn’t screw up the words on was DMP. well, anyways, the point is, at this show we had one backup female singer so there. she annyoed me greatly during Home Again, but she was legally there in her sequin shinin’ glory.
next order of business: erika, i know your name was given to you in 1981 and i know the marshmallow likes to smoke pot and mastrebate (and I know i can’t spell the m word.) this must offend you, E, because you know you don’t.. smoke pot.. but i think one of you must change you name. E, you are stubborn and you were here longer, but marshmellow is confusing me, so someone change your name!
when is the next DMP show and how much?

p.s. i bet elfaizy never forgets the words. ::pout::
“I get email from this group all the time, despite asking them not to include me on their mailing list because I don’t live in L.A.”
Ryan – It’s probably Danny Elfman sending you some sort of secret code. Maybe there’s a certain, very small word/letter in each email! Danny’s just trying to communicate! Yeah…right. Seriously, isn’t there a way you can unsubscribe from their mailing list by visiting their website? In any case, you might check that out…then again, you built this website, and as such, are a heckuva lot smarter than me…I don’t know why *I’m* giving *you* no-brainer tips…
-E (who is anxiously expecting an “ewkay” or two for that stupid parade of comments…)
i’ve been ignored!
lexi: erika doesn’t ignore!
Erika, I didn’t mean “prop” how you took it. I meant, that if they had to use women in the show, I would prefer that they be used for anything other than back-up singers. For Example, may’be topless in a skit recreating a scene from the Forbidden Zone. That would be great and it wouldn’t be a stretch. Just good ol’ holloween fun.
Hey, Matchgirl. The Next DMP show is on Holloween at the Galaxy Theater.
MR.Eso.. where’s the galaxy theatre and when does it begin?
lexi: bueler? bueler?
Mr. E – LOL! You’re lucky I’ve seen Forbidden Zone, because I can guarantee you that if I hadn’t, I would have taken issue with the “topless in a skirt” comment. No, man, I get that comment…it makes sense. “If they had to use women in the show…” ::wipes tears of laughter from face:: Geez, thank god I’m only a marginal feminist and not a militant feminazi…otherwise…it’s not even worth getting into. ::Still laughing hysterically:: Don’t get me wrong: I dig you, and your comments are cool with me…but you might not want to make such comments around “normal” women; they’ll probably get pissed off. I’m inherently screwed up, so I just think they’re funny.
Lexi – if you’d like, I can change my screen name to just plain “E.” It still pisses me right off to do it, though, because some pod person tube-whacker got himself/herself all hot-and-bothered with a factory-sealed jar of marshmAllow fluff and decided to be “cute.” Arsehole. Maybe we should start calling him/her “Fluffy?” No, I prefer “Arsehole.”
-E (still ticked off…mostly because of the name thing, but also because she doesn’t live in California, and thus, cannot see DMP on Halloween)
