The Misfits are back!
Heroes from the moment they emerged on stage here last July 97 before a sold-out audience in all their
made-up glory, the fanatics, fans and fiends following The Misfits are proof that the word
"cult" was invented for the NJ monsters.
Storming sold-out audiences since the release of American Psycho on Geffen last year, The Misfits' are coming back to haunt us on October 4 at the Medley. With their wailing wall of guitars, spooky riffs and howling vocals, The Misfits are one of the most influential punk rock acts of all time. The ghoul-rockers (vocalist Michale Graves, drummer Dr. Chud, and original 'fits, bassist Jerry Only, brother and guitarist Doyle) are forming their own label and are all set to release EVILLIVE II, only the band's second live album in 20 years. The disk was recorded while on tour last year with Megadeth (a Fiend Club* membership exclusive from which they'll play a few
tracks). Combined with coffins (the band were once arrested for grave-robbing in New Orleans), candleabras, blood-red velvet, chandeliers, cobwebs, spikes, and devilock hair styles, The Misfits' show and music create an incendiary sensory experience. In keeping with their theatrical image, the band are also hoping to enter into the macho pantomime world of WWF wrestling as ringside managers. Also coming in 1999 (according to a scoop on their official website), Misfits action figures, featuring Jerry Only and Doyle Wolfgang Von
Frankenstein, G.I. Joe style. Until then they are live and in the "flesh"
