I'm sorry to announce to my very loyal 157 followers that this will be the the last tweet (or X?) posted by this account (for the foreseeable future). Linked is my Google Drive collection of Mystic Knights photos that I've used to post on this account.

The attached photo is from a 1979 promo photoshoot the Mystic Knights did just before becoming Oingo Boingo later that summer.
From left to right: Steve Bartek, Sam Phipps, Leon Schneiderman, John Hernandez, Danny Elfman, Jeff Breeh, Dale Turner, and Joe Berland.
The 1977 Mystic Knights lineup in front of Sproul Hall at the University of California, Berkeley.
From left to right: Miriam Cutler, Steve Bartek, Danny Elfman, Todd Manley, Dale Turner, Sam Phipps, Leon Schneiderman, and either Billy Superball or Charlie Unkeless as the lizard.
Here's a good shot from June 21, 1974 at Irvine Meadows, before the amphitheatre. This would be the first show longtime Oingo Boingo lighting designer and merch guy Charlie Unkeless went to.
Billy Superball is next to him in the stripes playing the bass, Josh Gordon is behind him with the trumpet, Stan Ayeroff has the guitar behind the percussion, Gene Cunningham is in front of him with the big drum, Jan Munroe is in the stripes on the grass to the left,

Here's some Knights performing in the streets of Los Angeles in 1972. That's Billy Superball (Bill Folwell) in black in the front, Leon Schneiderman beating the logo drum, Richard Elfman in red behind him, Gene Cunningham with the other big drum, and Danny is hiding behind him.
