The Fibonaccis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fibonaccis were an art rock group from Los Angeles. The members were Magie Song (vocals), Ron Stringer (guitar and bass), John Dentino (keyboards), Joe Berardi (drums), and Tom Corey (bass guitar and mandolin). Their name was taken from the the 14th century Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci.[1]

Rather like Siouxsie & the Banshees, the Fibonaccis were intelligent and technically accomplished musicians who explored dark themes, but they did so in a more cartoonish and satirical fashion. Their rendition of Bernard Herrmann's theme from Psycho was a favorite in concert. Their bizarre cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze" is preceded by a snippet from a jailhouse interview of Charles Manson.
