C'mon guys!! :wall

Let's just be nice: While not my cup of tea either, some people are enjoying this music.

If you don't like it, quit posting and keeping this thread alive. It will pass down the line soon enough.

If you feel compelled to post, please keep it civil.

Discerning from the titles of the songs and now your ringing endorsement, this [Oingo Boingo wannabe] group is exactly what I thought it would be; unconventional, comedic, avant garde [oh-our-music-can't-really-be-categorized]... um...stuff..

I'm sure somewhere these people have a following and I'm sure they really appreciate you spreading a little more of their love around.

But after listening to a few of their songs [confirming my earlier supposition]; as I stated in my other post [not even having heard them at that point] not my cup of tea...

But to those looking for this style of offbeat music.. Please: Enjoy! :thumbsup

I checked some Oingo Boingo stuff (in addition to our FLM release of "Little Girls") at youtube, but did not notice any obvious connection. Besides, Oingo Boingo was a commercial act, but GP/BPG/... was just a couple of kids doing it for pure lulz. Thanks nihilist, I did enjoy this.

I didn't mean for my comparison to be harsh, though reading it now it DOES come across as a slight.. Sorry.

Obviously Oingo Boingo didn't start as a commercial act.. They were the same thing; guys jamming, coming up with something 'different' for the hell of it. When they started their music was considered very avant-garde and very non-commercial.. (They didn't have the benefit of the internet when they first started, where pretty much anything can go..)

For OB, though, their music gained a following and they lucked out [or sold out, if you will] and did, indeed become 'commercial'.

My comment to you midway through my previous post however, appears to be wrong:

On bpg's website, on the band page of 'The Crapenters' they state:

I stand corrected.. :thumbsup
