Dingoes Ate My Baby is a fictional rock band on the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Band members

Daniel 'Oz' Osborne - lead guitarist (played by Seth Green). He once agreed with a student music critic that they sounded as if "plump polish sausages had been tied to their fingers." Oz dated Willow during high school; despite later identifying as a lesbian, she always kept a poster of Dingoes Ate My Baby on her dorm wall.

Devon MacLeish - lead singer. Devon is a friend of Oz and he also briefly dated both Cordelia Chase and Harmony Kendall.

Band name

The name of the band refers to the Azaria Chamberlain disappearance, an incident which occurred in Australia in 1980. A baby disappeared under mysterious circumstances near Uluru. The mother, Lindy Chamberlain claimed "a dingo ate my baby!". (She was at first convicted and later acquitted of murdering her baby.)

Buffyverse appearances

The band are first mentioned in the unaired Buffy pilot. Xander says, “They don’t know any actual chords yet, but they have really big amps”. They did not appear on the show until the second season, in "Inca Mummy Girl". Dingoes continued to appear throughout Seasons 3 and 4 until Oz left Sunnydale. Most of their performances took place at The Bronze, Sunnydale's local nightclub.

PLEASE DISCUSS CHARACTER ADDITTIONS/REMOVALS BEFORE MAKING CHANGES AT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Buffyverse#Buffyverse-box_character_inclusions)

This box cannot/shouldn't be including every Buffyverse character. Some suggested guidelines are:

"The people who appeared in the opening credits (Scooby Gang & Fang Gang/FG) appear in the box, and the most important villains/friends who had a significant emotional impact on multiple of those opening credits characters - as long as they have a significant episode count, and preferably if they appear in three or more seasons."
