Combustible Edison, formed in 1991 in Providence, Rhode Island, was a pioneering force in the 1990s lounge music revival. The band, featuring Miss Lily Banquette (Liz Cox) on vocals and percussion, The Millionaire (Michael Cudahy) on guitar, and Nick Cudahy on bass, crafted a distinctive sound blending elements of lounge, exotica, jazz, and swing. Their debut album, *I, Swinger* (1994), received acclaim for its authentic homage to mid-century exotica. They also composed the soundtrack for the film *Four Rooms* (1995), produced by Mark Mothersbaugh. Their subsequent albums, *Schizophonic!* (1996) and *The Impossible World* (1998), further showcased their innovative approach to the genre. Combustible Edison disbanded in 1999, leaving a lasting legacy in the neo-lounge movement. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustible_Edison?utm_source=openai))
