Oingo Humphreys 2024. Kinda bummed!
by BH on 10/29/24Rating: 3 out of 5The Oingo Boingo FBM musicians and a few replacements were amazing. The instrumentals popped and the sound was crystal clear and so rad. Love the horns, drums, keyboard and guitars. The vocal, sorry to say, was a huge disappointment. The new lead vocal has lots of energy and does aerobics for the entire set. But, the vocal sound was muffled and drowned out by the instrumentals. Maybe that was the plan. I could not understand a word that he sang. Fortunately, the entire crowd and I knew all the words to all the songs. But, I was bummed. I’m not a musician, so I key in on the vocals more than anything. He was hard to watch, over dramatic and not what I expected. Sorry man. Oingo was my favorite band in the day. Always went to Irvine Meadows on Halloween. Head shaker. The Untouchables should have been the headliner, as they were amazing!
