The Fibonaccis rose out of the early-'80s art punk scene in Los Angeles, CA. Drawing from film scores, circus music, as well as bizarre pop culture in general, the band took their name after Leonardo Fibonacci, the 14th Century Italian mathematician. Fibonaccis' first EP was released in 1982 on the Index label, (fi'-bo-na'-chez). With a rising reputation as a live band, the group wrote the soundtrack to the cult horror/comedy TerrorVision. They returned to the studio to record the album Civilization and Its Discotheques (1987) but disbanded in 1988. – Geoff Orens |
