New Wave Hats
Description: Oingo Boingo's hyperkinetic ska-flavored new wave was best characterized by their manic live performances and eclectic songbook. Their annual Halloween gigs at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre in Irvine, California were legendary and a choice opportunity for fans to catch the band at their best. These shows went on for a decade or so with later dates being a block of two to three shows book ending Halloween to accommodate their fans.

If you think about it, they're all right, and really just saying the same thing, as things are always changing, but still staying the same, as change is constant. Or something.
Description: By the end of the '70s, XTC were progressing at a rapid pace, and after two albums of kinetic jagged pop laced punk surging through its veins, Drums and Wires showed the band was not about to get stuck in the punk-era rut. This was more than evident on the offbeat single Making Plans for Nigel which hit the U.K. Top 20 and helped the band gain a solid underground following in the U.S. All told, Drums and Wires was the band's first true masterpiece, but hardly their last...
