In 1975, The Mystic Knights of The Oingo Boingo made their television debut with Travesties, broadcast on KVST-TV, Channel 68, in Los Angeles at 8 p.m. on May 5th. This groundbreaking performance brought the eclectic, avant-garde style of Danny Elfman’s band to a wider audience, blending theatricality with their signature surreal sound. Two years later, the band returned to the spotlight with Live at the Aquarius Theatre, featuring highlights from their December 22nd and 23rd shows during a four-show run. This performance, much like their farewell concert years later, cemented their reputation for unique, high-energy live shows, fusing music, performance art, and elaborate costumes.
