Halloween Time With

August 5, 2024 by Traci Turner

Fall is here, school are back in session, and Halloween merch is in stores.

While some may say, “No! It’s not time yet,” I have something to make it all worth it: Oingo Boingo Former Members’ annual Halloween shows!

As for the band, they been at it for a while now. OBFM features original band members Sam “Sluggo” Phipps on sax, Carl Graves on keys, Steve Bartek on guitar, John Avila on bass / guitar and Johnny Vatos on drums.

Newer members include Mike “The Spike” Glendinning on guitar, Brian Schwartz on trumpet, Freddie Hernandez on bass, and behind the mic is Brendan McCreary. The sonic vision remains intact, and the delivery of their music is food for our souls.

As the calendar turns and the moon creeps earlier and earlier, we can eye our favorite time of the year.

Let’s start with Temecula on October 25th, then San Diego on October 26th, OBFM will party – dead man style – at Humphrey’s Concerts by the Bay with special guests General Public, The Untouchables, and Bow Wow Wow.

Of course the big one is so big… they needed two nights! On October 31st AND November 1st and in Montclair at The Canyon on November 2nd, do Halloween with Oingo Boingo Former Members at Coach House in San Juan Capistrano.

Adding to the greatness of the night, America’s first ska band is also going to open. The Untouchables will come along making this an epic night of music and celebration.

There is no better way to celebrate the spooky season! Get your costume ready so you can dance along to songs that have been a part of our lives – and Halloween – for decades!

Seriously, where would we be without “Dead Man’s Party,” “No One Lives Forever,” “Weird Science,” “Grey Matter,” “Nothing to Fear (But Fear Itself),” “Only a Lad,” “Just Another Day?” I honestly don’t want to know.

You need to jump on these SoCal shows right away because they will sell out. Spend your Halloween with the best party band around!

If you are outside SoCal, check out the band’s website for more shows coming soon!
