Combustible Edison

Combustible Edison was an American neo-lounge music group founded in 1991 in Providence, Rhode Island. The band's core members included Liz Cox on vocals and percussion, Michael Cudahy on guitar, Nick Cudahy on bass, Peter Dixon on keyboards, and Aaron Oppenheimer on drums. Combustible Edison began as a 14-piece orchestra accompanying a stage show titled The Tiki Wonder Hour before evolving into their signature lineup. The group signed with Sub Pop Records in 1994 and released their debut album I, Swinger. Their second studio album, Schizophonic!, was issued in 1996, followed by The Impossible World in 1998, which incorporated more modern electronic elements. The band contributed the soundtrack to the film Four Rooms, including the theme “Vertigogo”, and performed on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Combustible Edison disbanded during their 1999 tour for The Impossible World.
