Johnny Vatos tribute to “Oingo Boingo”

Its a Dead Man's Party

About Me

Ten Years after the band Oingo Boingo's Farewell Show (Halloween 1995). Johnny Vatos, the drummer for Oingo Boingo decided to do a show for the true loyal Oingo Boingo fans. He came up with the "Johnny Vatos Tribute to Halloween." He got other fellow band members [John Avila (bass), Steve Bartek (lead guitar), Sam "Sluggo" Phipps (sax)] from Oingo Boingo to participate in a show dedicated to the fans. This show occured October 29th, 2005. With other fellow musicians, they tore the stage a new one. Food for Feet also got back together and played for the concert. As well as the encore with an idea that John Avila came up with a few days before the concert at a rehearsal to do the song "Dead Man's Party" as a jazz/poetic jam with the crowd. It was truly a concert for the ages. And thus I bid adieu until further notice.
