| Cassius - 1999 |
 |
Cassius is a french duo with lots of dough to
put on. This was the first video I saw of
them in 1999 and I loved it completely. I
bought the CD "1999" on 9/9/1999 (really.)
Get ready to know more about CacaoRock:
www.evoca.com/cacaorock ;) and
www.geocities.com/cacaorock .
By the way, I just discovered that the song
sampled is not "Love Is Just A Breath Away"
by Donna Summer, but Donna's "(If It) Hurts
Just A Little." - This is very important,
dude, since on the CD single and on the 1999
album it says the sample is "Breath Away!"
By the way, Cassius has a website,
www.cassius.fm where you can watch this video
with better resolution.

prior to filming without a tripod.
http://misfits.com The Misfits are a horror
punk band formed in 1977 and led by singer
and songwriter Glenn Danzig (born Glenn
Anzalone) and later, bassist Jerry Only (born
Gerald Caiafa). They were highly influential
on the genres of heavy metal, punk and rock
music in general. Though they ceased
recording and performing in 1983, a new
version of the band (led by Only and without
founder and former frontman Danzig) began
operations in 1995 (see below).
The early Misfits were often quite melodic,
featuring Danzig's versatile singing, which
had a style rooted in Italian tenors such as
Mario Lanza and in 1950s doo-wop. Musically,
the band has also displayed some Rockabilly
influences (but not as much as Psychobilly
bands). Early Misfits songs tended to have
catchy, sing-along choruses, initially backed
by Danzig's distorted keyboard accompaniments
(circa 1977), and later by willfully crude
guitar-rock. The band began as a largely
untrained ensemble. After several lineup
changes and increasing international acclaim,
Danzig disbanded the original Misfits in
1983.
The band often wore corpse paint when
performing, and bassist Jerry Only reputedly
invented a hairstyle called the devilock,
with the bangs coming to a point in front of
the nose or chin, a style still worn by fans
(A.K.A. Fiends) today and contributed to the
foundation of Horror Punk.
When the band originally reformed, it
featured Michale Graves on vocals, Jerry Only
on bass, Dr. Chud (Cannibalistic Human
Underground Drummer) on drums, and Jerry's
brother Doyle on guitar. Doyle is currently
estranged from the group and is working with
a new group named Gorgeous Frankenstein,
which formed in 2005. Doyle recently reunited
with Glenn Danzig's band Danzig to perform
special sets of Misfits songs on Danzig's
Blackest of the Black 2005 and 2006 tour.
A third, "touring" incarnation of the band,
without original singer Danzig, is presently
led by the only other "constant" original
member, bassist Jerry Only. Members of the
touring group have included Marky Ramone (of
the Ramones), and both drummer ROBO (who was
a member of the original band), and guitarist
Dez Cadena of Black Flag fame.
http://myspace.com/themisfits History
The history of the Misfits can be split into
two main eras. The first era marks the
foundation of the group, founded and fronted
by Glenn Danzig. The second era saw former
members of the band with various new
vocalists playing a mixture of new and old
material.
[edit] Glenn Danzig era
[edit] Formation
In January of 1977, after singing in several
garage bands such as Talus,Whodat and Boojang
that mostly played Black Sabbath songs,
twenty-one year old Glenn Danzig decided it
was finally time to create something serious
and original. As a tribute to Marilyn Monroe,
he named his musical project after her final
movie, The Misfits.
The Misfits, circa 1977.
The Misfits, circa 1977.
For weeks, Glenn wrote songs and practiced
with friends and old band mates, trying to
find a suitable lineup of musicians to bring
his vision to life. The first complete
Misfits lineup consisted of Jimmy Battle on
guitar, his old band mate Manny Martínez on
drums, Diane DiPiazza on bass, and Danzig on
electric piano and vocals. However, after
only about a month of practicing, both Jimmy
and Diane left the band. In need of new band
mates, Manny suggested that his friend, Jerry
Caiafa, should audition for bass. Jerry, a
young football player who had been voted most
popular in his senior class at Lodi High
School, had just received a bass guitar for
Christmas and had only been practicing with
it for two months. Despite Jerry's fledgling
bass talents, Glenn accepted him into the
band and offered to teach him how to play.
After three months of practicing, the trio
headed into the studio to record their first
single, "Cough/Cool". The single contained
two keyboard-driven songs (the B-side was a
version of the song, "She") that were quite
different from the music they became known
for. The title track was somber and poetic,
and reminiscent of The Doors. The band
released the single themselves through their
own label, Blank Records.
Over the next several months, Glenn, Manny,
and Jerry (who had adopted the stage name
Jerry Only after a misspelling on the single
liner notes) played a handful of gigs (their
first two at CBGB in New York City) as they
continued to practice and forge their own
sound. Their experimental art rock style was
met mostly with confusion.
By October 1977, British punk bands such as
The Damned and New York punk bands like The
Ramones began to have an influence on The
Misfits. They decided to take the band in a
more punk direction by adding guitarist
Franché Coma to the band and ditching the
keyboards, allowing Danzig to engage in
antics typical of a punk frontman.
At this time The Misfits caught their first
big break. Mercury Records wanted to use the
name Blank Records for a subdivision, but
Danzig had secured a trademark on the name.
They contacted Glenn and offered him thirty
hours of free time in a professional studio,
in exchange for full use of the Blank Records
title. Danzig accepted the offer and in
January of 1978, The Misfits headed into a
New York studio to record their first full
length album.
Seventeen songs were recorded, featuring a
unique combination of their early art rock
material and a hard driving direction, akin
to the powerful sounds of punk at that time.
Excluding the songs "Teenagers from Mars" and
"Return of the Fly", they wouldn't draw on
B-movies for lyrical inspiration for at least
another year, and at this point their lyrics
instead portrayed a futuristic dystopia of
television saturation, automaton-like
submissiveness, and glamorized sex and
violence. As 1977 drew to a close, Glenn and
Jerry decided that Manny was too unreliable
and asked him to leave the band. He was
replaced by Jim Catania, aka "Mr. Jim".
Once the album was complete, the band shopped
it around to various labels but no one was
interested in releasing it (it would later
see the light of day in 1997 as Static Age).
The album was shelved and would remain (for
the current time) unreleased. With no labels
interested, the Misfits decided to take four
tracks from the album and release them as an
EP. In June 1978, the Bullet EP was released
on their new label, Plan 9, which Danzig had
named after the infamous Ed Wood movie Plan 9
from Outer Space.
[edit] The birth of horror punk
The Misfits, circa 1979.
The Misfits, circa 1979.
Around this time, both Glenn and Jerry
decided they wanted to take the band in a
more horror-themed direction. Glenn began to
write more songs inspired by low-grade horror
and sci-fi movies, and both he and Jerry
began to adopt ghoulish appearances, with
Jerry applying dark makeup around his eyes
and Glenn painting bone designs on his
clothes. The band started to play more
frequently and began to go on small tours in
support of the Bullet EP. In October of 1978,
during a small tour through Canada, Franché
Coma decided he couldn't handle touring and
quit the band before the tour was complete.
Guitarist Rick Riley stepped in temporarily
to fill out guitar duties for the rest of the
tour. Mr. Jim wasn't fond of the horror
direction the band was heading in, and opted
to leave the band once the tour was over.
Within two months, Glenn and Jerry had
recruited two new band members, drummer Joey
Image, and guitarist Bobby Steele. Around
this time, Jerry Only began to comb his hair
in The Misfits signature hair style, which
would later be dubbed the devilock.
In December of 1978, after less than two
months, the new Misfits lineup began playing
shows together. Over the course of 1979, The
Misfits further evolved the horror elements
of their music and their imagery, influenced
by The Damned, who had recently regrouped in
the proto-Goth lineup of the Machine Gun
Etiquette album. Glenn and Jerry adopted a
skull mascot for the band from an old poster
they'd come across for a 1946 Republic movie
serial, The Crimson Ghost (aka Cyclotrode X).
Two more records followed on their Plan 9
label, the Horror Business EP and the "Night
of the Living Dead" single, respectively.
They began to establish a small but loyal fan
base and decided to start their own fan club,
which they called the Fiend Club. Glenn
operated the Fiend Club from his mother's
basement, where he would print out t-shirts,
assemble records, mail out merchandise
catalogs, book gigs, and respond to fan mail,
making the Misfits exemplary practitioners of
the DIY ethic.
As their popularity slowly began to increase
within the underground American punk
movement, many people started to consider The
Misfits as the American equivalent of The
Damned, whose singer, Dave Vanian, adopted
the look of a classic vampire and sang in a
brooding baritone. On June 26, 1979, The
Misfits opened for The Damned at a gig in New
York City. Before the show, Jerry spoke with
Dave Vanian about the possibility of The
Misfits doing a tour of the UK in support of
The Damned.
In November of 1979, The Misfits flew over to
England for their tour with The Damned.
However, Dave Vanian had not taken Jerry
seriously and was surprised when Jerry showed
up at his front door. Instead of turning The
Misfits away, Dave tried his best to arrange
for them to take part in the tour, but The
Misfits weren't happy with the situation.
After playing only two gigs, The Misfits
dropped off the tour. Their return flight
back to America wasn't until late in
December, and so The Misfits were forced to
kill time in England. Jerry spent some time
with Sid Vicious' mother, who he had
befriended after Sid's death. On December 2,
Glenn and Bobby went to see a gig by The Jam
in London, where they were harassed by
skinheads while standing in line. Glenn broke
off a piece of glass and used it to fend off
the skinheads while Bobby ran to get help.
However, when the cops arrived, they arrested
Bobby and Glenn, for what they described as
"threatening behavior". In an interview with
Revolver in the October 2005 issue, Glenn
went into greater detail about the event. He
said the police found a knife in his
possession and accused Glenn of being a
"ripper" that had been stalking the area at
the time. The police began to beat him, and
Glenn fought back. He claims he did
considerable damage to the police before they
were finally able to subdue him. Glenn and
Bobby then spent two nights jailed up in the
London district of Brixton, during which time
Glenn wrote the lyrics to the future Misfits
song, "London Dungeon".
After the failed European tour, Joey Image
decided to leave the band, and later formed
the band The Mary Tyler Whores. Upon their
return to America, The Misfits released the
Beware EP and decided to take a short hiatus
from the band in order to recover from their
bad experience in England. After a four month
break, Arthur Googy was recruited as the new
drummer. Around this time, Jerry's younger
brother, Doyle, who had been a huge fan of
the band since the beginning, started
learning to play guitar with help from Glenn
and Jerry. The Misfits began working on a
full length album, which they planned to
release through Plan 9. In August of 1980,
they went into the studio and recorded twelve
songs. Jerry began to persuade Glenn that
Doyle would fit into the band much better
than Bobby Steele. Doyle began to practice
with the band and even entered the studio to
record his own guitar tracks for the twelve
songs they had recorded. Bobby has said that
during this time period, Jerry would
purposely neglect to inform him of practices,
in order to make Bobby look bad. Jerry denies
these accusations. Regardless, in October of
1980, shortly before the band's annual
Halloween show, Jerry informed Bobby that he
was being replaced by Doyle, who was only
sixteen at the time. Bobby Steele went on to
form his own punk band a few months later,
called The Undead (not the San Francisco band
of the same name, also friends of the
Misfits). On Halloween of 1980, what many
people consider to be the classic Misfits
lineup made its debut.
After only playing a few shows with the new
lineup, they took a six month break from the
band. During this time, instead of releasing
the entire album they had recorded, they
selected three songs from it and released it
as the 3 Hits from Hell EP (in 2002, Caroline
Records finally released the entire album,
which they called 12 Hits from Hell, but the
release was canceled at the last moment at
Jerry and Glenn's request). Throughout the
year of 1981, The Misfits continued to go
into the studio to record tracks for a full
length release, which they planned on calling
Walk Among Us. Although they had planned on
releasing the full length themselves through
Plan 9, they got an unexpected offer from
Slash Records to release the album. They
accepted the offer and decided to rework the
album before releasing it. On Halloween of
1981, The Misfits released the "Halloween"
single through Plan 9, which consisted of two
more tracks from the shelved full length they
had recorded the previous summer.
Sometime in 1981, Glenn wrote the song
"Archangel" for The Damned vocalist Dave
Vanian to sing with The Misfits backing him.
However, due to scheduling conflicts, Dave
never recorded vocals for the song and it was
set aside until 1983, when Glenn decided to
re-record it with his next band, Samhain.
http://onethirtyeight.com Walk Among Us
Walk Among Us.
Walk Among Us.
In March of 1982, Ruby/Slash Records released
Walk Among Us, the first full length Misfits
album to be available to the public. Walk
Among Us would later be considered by most
fans to be the quintessential Misfits album,
as well as one of the best punk albums of all
time. The band began playing shows again
after nearly a year. They started to become
notorious for their intense stage presence
and brutal live performances. Doyle was a
sports athlete like his brother, and shared
his linebacker physique, which, coupled with
their ghoulish appearance, caused some to
view them as two of punk's most intimidating
axemen. Between the brothers, Glenn Danzig
would bellow out his morbid lyrics while
thrashing around on stage or crawling around
on the floor, sometimes throwing and
receiving punches from the crowd. Despite
Glenn's smaller stature at about 5'5", he was
fond of fighting, and enjoyed taunting the
crowd, and instigating violence.
Perhaps the most infamously violent Misfits
show took place in San Francisco on April 10,
1982. During the show some people in the
crowd began to throw cans of beer at the
stage. After Doyle was nearly hit in the head
with a full beer can, he smashed his guitar
over a crowd member's head, instigating a
full out riot.
Arthur Googy and Danzig argued often and
finally, after a lengthy argument, Danzig
kicked him out of the Misfits. The Misfits
had to cancel their plans to record their
next EP, which they had planned on calling
Earth A.D..
In need of a drummer, they offered the role
to Doyle's friend and classmate, Eerie Von,
who had served as an occasional photographer
and roadie for The Misfits. Eerie reluctantly
turned down the offer because he had already
committed to drumming for the local band
Rosemary's Babies. Black Flag vocalist, Henry
Rollins, who had become great friends with
The Misfits during their west coast gigs,
informed ex-Black Flag drummer, ROBO, that
The Misfits were in need of a drummer. In
July of 1982, ROBO flew to the east coast and
joined the band.
Doyle graduated High School and began working
full time at his father's machine shop with
Jerry. They used their earnings to purchase
new instruments (because they tended to smash
theirs on a weekly basis), and to fund The
Misfits tours, recording sessions, and album
pressings. While they provided funding for
the band, Glenn would handle the Fiend Club
and work on composing new songs. A common
misconception is that Glenn only wrote lyrics
and sang for The Misfits. Glenn is a
multitalented musician, and would often write
new songs himself and later teach them to his
band mates at practice, where the songs would
become fleshed out (practices were usually
held in Jerry's garage, which they referred
to as "The Pit").
[edit] Dissolution
In September of 1982, The Misfits embarked on
a large scale tour with their friends, The
Necros, opening for them. During the tour,
The Misfits stopped by a studio to record the
instrumental tracks for the Earth A.D. EP
while Glenn slept. On October 17, the band
were arrested in New Orleans on the charges
of grave-robbing while in search of the
burial place of voodoo practitioner Marie
Laveau. The Misfits denied the charges, and a
witness reportedly attested that they had not
even entered the cemetery gates. The band
bailed themselves out of jail and skipped
court to drive to their next performance in
Florida. Upon returning from the tour, The
Misfits released an album of live material
called Evilive.
During this time Glenn was becoming
increasingly dissatisfied with The Misfits,
for reasons that are disputed. He began to
write songs for a new band project, which he
considered calling "Danzig", but instead
chose to name "Samhain", after the ancient
Celtic holiday which influenced the modern
Halloween celebration.
In July of 1983, The Misfits went into the
studio to finish working on Earth A.D. They
decided to record and add two of their new
songs to the album, making it closer to full
length status. In order to make it a proper
full length album, Glenn decided to record
two of the songs he had intended for Samhain:
"Bloodfeast" and "Death Comes Ripping". The
resulting album was Earth A.D., a gritty,
thrashy album which none of the members were
quite satisfied with. In August, after a
series of arguments with Glenn, ROBO decided
to leave the band. Glenn became further
disenchanted with The Misfits and began to
audition musicians for his new band project.
On October 29, 1983 (see 1983 in music), The
Misfits played their yearly Halloween show in
Detroit, Michigan. Glenn had selected Brian
Damage to be the new Misfits drummer.
However, Brian got drunk before the show and
continuously messed up the songs. After
several songs Doyle escorted Brian off the
stage and the drummer for the Necros filled
in for the rest of the set. The band members
were visibly upset with each other and Glenn
informed the audience that it would be the
last Misfits show ever. The next day the band
members drove back home without saying a word
to each other and went about their respective
lives.
The last show of the original Misfits was at
Greystone Hall, Detroit, Michigan, on
Saturday, October 29th,1983, when the band
showed up and played one of their longest
sets (about 30 songs). This show was
filmed.[citation needed]
[edit] Jerry Only era
[edit] Legal battle
After the demise of the Misfits, Glenn Danzig
focused on his new band project, Samhain,
which was darker and more experimental than
The Misfits, with more emphasis on creating a
grim atmosphere and less on poppy melodies.
Meanwhile, Jerry Only and his brother Doyle
moved to Vernon, New Jersey, where they went
to work full time in their father's machine
parts factory.
During this time, Only became more focused on
his family and his baby daughter, Kathy. He
became more serious about his Christian
faith, and regretted some of the things he
took part in during his time with the
Misfits. He watched as Danzig continued to
grow in popularity with Samhain, a band that
Only viewed as Satanic. In 1987, Only decided
to start a new band, one that would oppose
the "dark path" chosen by Danzig. Together
with Doyle, Only (who changed his stage name
to "Mo the Great") started writing songs for
a Christian heavy metal band with barbarian
imagery, called Kryst the Conqueror. They
then created the "Doyle Fan Club" to help
spread the word about their new band. Despite
Only's efforts, Kryst the Conqueror failed to
gain a following. Although they released one
limited edition EP, the band never played
live.
Also in 1987, Samhain, after touring
extensively and releasing two full-length
albums and an EP, were signed to a major
label and the band's name was changed to
Danzig. Although the Misfits had gone mostly
unnoticed during their seven years as an
active band, by the late 80s, they were
becoming icons of the underground music
world, thanks in part to word of mouth,
Metallica's public adoration for the band,
and Danzig's success with Samhain. The
Misfits' back catalogue had been reissued and
was selling extremely well. Around this time,
Only contacted Danzig about getting a cut of
the Misfits' royalties, beginning a legal
battle that lasted several years. Only
concedes that Danzig wrote nearly all the
lyrics and most of the music, but he
contended that he and Doyle "wrote 25% or
maybe 30% of the music,"[1] and deserved
compensation. Danzig, on the other hand,
insisted that he himself wrote all songs, and
that the other Misfits' creative input was
minimal at best.
In late 1988, Danzig, the band, released its
eponymous debut album, the first release on
star producer Rick Rubin's new Def American
record label. Seven years later, in 1994
Danzig broke into the mainstream when the
live video for its first album song,
"Mother", became a hit on MTV, introducing
thousands of new fans to Danzig's back
catalog, and to his work with Samhain and the
Misfits.
Around this time, many older punk bands began
to do reunion tours, earning often hefty
paychecks in the process. In 1994-95 Jerry
Only and Doyle approached Danzig about
reuniting as the Misfits, and they even went
to his hotel room after a Danzig show in New
Jersey. In interviews Only jokingly remarked
that security escorted them from the
property, and "we took that as a 'no'". Only
decided to cease his pursuit of songwriting
credits, and instead tried to reach an
out-of-court settlement that would allow him
to use "the Misfits" name and images. In
1995, Only and Danzig finally settled, with
Only gaining the rights to record and perform
as the Misfits, but sharing merchandising
rights with Danzig.
[edit] A new beginning
Jerry and Doyle reformed The Misfits
immediately, retaining Kryst the Conqueror
drummer, Dr. C.H.U.D., and after Danzig
rejected their offer to return as lead
singer, they held open auditions for a new
vocalist (Jerry had approached Damned
vocalist Dave Vanian about filling the open
position, but he declined the offer). Michael
Emanuel, a nineteen-year-old New Jersey
native, impressed them with his audition, and
was soon established as the new vocalist,
taking the stage name Michale Graves.
This new incarnation of The Misfits
(sometimes referred to as "The Newfits",
"MisfitsTM", "The Jerry Only Band", or
"Misfits 95") released their debut album,
American Psycho, in 1997. The album was
fairly well received, introducing The Misfits
to a new generation of fans. However, many
fans of the original Misfits had trouble
accepting the band's renewed existence
without its founder and key songwriter, Glenn
Danzig, who usually refuses to acknowledge
the new band's existence, and does so only
with derision. Detractors also took issue
with the new band's focus on a more
"cartoony" image, and Jerry Only's apparent
desire to make the band more family-friendly,
by refraining from the use of vulgarities in
their new songs.
In May of 1998, Michale Graves went on hiatus
from the band. The Misfits were then briefly
fronted by lead singer Myke Hideous of the
New Jersey goth/deathrock band, The Empire
Hideous, during their subsequent South
American and European tour. Hideous was
purportedly forced out by Jerry and Doyle for
an unwillingness to "pump up" by lifting
weights (The Misfits with Graves and Chud
were featured as Characters in WCW
wrestling), and left the band after the
European tour. Hideous recounts details of
his stint singing for the Misfits in his book
"King of an Empire to the Shoes of a Misfit".
Michale Graves rejoined the band later that
year.
In October of 1999, The Misfits released
Famous Monsters, a diverse album that further
established their own sound apart from the
Glenn Danzig era of the band. In 2001, The
Misfits released Cuts from the Crypt, a
collection of rare and unreleased
"resurrected" Misfits tracks. On October 25,
2000, after months of internal band turmoil,
Michale Graves and Dr. Chud officially quit
the band during a performance at the House of
Blues in Orlando. Doyle then took an
indefinite hiatus from performing,
effectively putting an end to another era of
the band.
[edit] 25th anniversary and beyond
Only then took over lead vocals in addition
to his bass duties, and recruited punk
veterans Dez Cadena of Black Flag, and Marky
Ramone of The Ramones to undertake a Misfits
25th Anniversary Tour, which lasted about
three years, intermittently.
Freed from the Misfits' contractual
obligations to Universal's Geffen and
Roadrunner imprints, Only and Misfits
confidant John Cafiero formed Misfits Records
and launched their new label with two
releases, the American debut of Balzac (a
Japanese horror punk band strongly influenced
by The Misfits and Samhain), and a new
Misfits album featuring the band's retakes on
ten 1950s rock classics, Project 1950. The
album featured not only the punk rock
all-star Misfits lineup of Only, Cadena and
Ramone, but prominent appearances from 60's
pop chanteuse Brendan Passey, Blondie
keyboardist Jimmy Destri and also saxophonist
Ed Manion from Southside Johnny & the Asbury
Jukes. Cafiero also featured strongly on
backing vocals.
Meanwhile Michale Graves and Dr. Chud had
formed their own band, Graves, which released
a single album before breaking up. In 2003,
Michale Graves sang in Gotham Road.
Currently, Graves is fronting his own solo
project, Michale Graves, while Dr. Chud is
fronting for his own band called Dr. Chud's
X-Ward.
In December of 2004 Glenn Danzig performed a
half hour worth of classic Misfits tracks, in
the middle of his Danzig set. Joining him on
guitar was none other than Doyle. It was the
first time the two have performed together in
20 years, and the first time Doyle has taken
to the stage since he went on hiatus. These
shows have prompted rumors of a reunification
of Jerry, Doyle and Glenn, although Danzig
has repeatedly made public statements
shooting down such rumors. Glenn and Doyle
plan on performing more shows together, and
Glenn has stated that this is as close as
anyone will ever get to seeing a true Misfits
reunion. Doyle and Danzig also performed
together for approximately 30 minute sets
during The 2006 Danzig Australian Tour.
Recently, Marky Ramone has left The Misfits
25 lineup, and the new lineup contains ROBO,
formerly of the Glenn Danzig days of the
Misfits, and originally of seminal hardcore
punk band Black Flag. A full European tour
has been booked with this new lineup, and
some select dates in the U.S. have been
announced. The UK leg of the tour had to be
canceled due to a problem with ROBO's visa,
and as a result the band could not play the
City Invasion 2005 tour. A rescheduled UK
tour followed in September.
Marky appeared alongside the new line up of
The Misfits in late 2006 while touring as a
member of Osaka Popstar.
The Misfits and their Japanese counterparts,
Balzac, staged a show at Tony Bennett's
studio complex in Englewood, N.J., for a
possible future live CD and/or DVD release on
Misfits Records. Original Misfits guitarist
Franché Coma made a guest appearance to
perform three songs from the Static Age LP.
Meanwhile, Doyle returned to play with Danzig
for the Blackest of the Black tour in the
fall of 2005. Glenn claims that this will be
his final tour, though he says he will
continue to make music. He is currently
slated as the producer for Doyle's upcoming
band, Gorgeous Frankenstein, which currently
lacks a lead vocalist, but will feature
Argyle Goolsby on bass.
The Misfits are currently writing and
recording material for a new studio album
which they began work on in early 2006. The
album will apparently feature Dez Cadena on
guitar and ROBO on drums. They have yet to
say whether Dez will contribute to
songwriting and singing. The material planned
for the new release, according to the band,
is intended to be "the hardest, most
aggressive Misfits material to see the
pressing plant since Earth A.D.".
[edit] 30th "Anniverscary"
The Misfits will perform at the Desensitised
festival on 8th September 2007. They will be
one of four headline acts.
http://www.myspace.com/desensitisedfestival
is the website for tickets
The band will then perform a full UK tour to
celebrate their 30th anniversary. Special
guests are The Briefs.
It has been loosely confirmed that Michale
Graves and Doyle will be returning for the
2007/2008 studio album. Dez Cadena has stated
that two guitars will be featured on the new
album, thus implying Doyle will be playing on
the new album, although no real concrete
evidence exists to back up this claim. Jerry
Only has not yet commented on the status of
the album.
As of June 25th, the new Misfits website has
been launched, giving a list of tour dates,
and confirming a US tour this fall, with
dates to be added.
[edit] Legacy
The influence The Misfits have had on punk
rock, and rock music in general, sometimes
seems disproportionate to the publicity and
critical attention they have received. Myriad
bands have imitated The Misfits' style, such
as Balzac, Blitzkid, The Coffin Caddies, The
Bathory Boys, The Zombie Mafia, and
Calabrese, and these bands have become known
as horror punk. Psychobilly has various
similarities with horror punk.
A number of bands have recently surfaced
which, although in some cases less obviously
horror punk, are still strongly visibly and
audibly influenced by The Misfits. These
include, most notably, bands such as AFI,
Alkaline Trio, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie,
Avenged Sevenfold, Wednesday 13 and the
Murderdolls. Many musical groups whose
resemblance to The Misfits seems far removed
also cite the band as crucial influences,
such as Metallica, Megadeth, Red Hot Chili
Peppers, and Guns N' Roses. Other bands who
hold The Misfits in high regard are Slayer,
Pantera, NOFX and more recently, Slipknot.
Many local New Jersey hardcore, punk, emo and
alternative rock acts such as My Chemical
Romance and The Banner, cite The Misfits as a
main influence. Winnipeg born Breakcore
artist Venetian Snares considers the Misfits
a huge influence, inspired by the subtle, but
frequent use of 3/4 time. Also New Jersey
based bands Northfall Division and Royal
Stigma cite The Misfits as a major influence.
These underground 80s punk groups have used
the lyrics from many Misfits songs as basis
for the lyrics of their own songs.
The Misfits' far reaching influence is also
evident in the vast number of fans from all
different facets of the music world who
follow the band. Wildly popular among punk
rock fans, the band has also received much
exposure to the heavy metal community from
Metallica's numerous Misfits cover songs.
Misfits fans themselves can often be easily
discerned, as many completely immerse
themselves in the band's imagery. At
underground shows, and especially at
Halloween, it is not uncommon to see many
punks and metalheads dressed in black with
Crimson Ghost facepaint and the devilock
hairstyle. Black leather jackets, oversized
leather boots, as well as gloves and
bodysuits printed with the skeletal structure
are also common.
The Misfits have greatly influenced the
Grenade snowboard apparel company run by the
two-time Olympic silver medalist and
professional snowboarder Danny Kass, and his
brother Matt. The Kass brothers grew up in
New Jersey and are long time Fiends. Danny is
a good friend of Jerry Only's son and used to
skateboard on a halfpipe in the Only's back
yard. Numerous Grenade products are Misfit
tributes using or drawing from Misfits
imagery. In classic Misfits tradition,
Grenade allows 'soldiers' to enlist in their
'Army' to receive stickers and other items,
following along the lines of the Misfits'
Fiend Club. Grenade follows in the vein of
DIY mentality displayed by the Misfits and
many punk bands, and reflects its influence
on snowboarding today.
Misfits posters and shirts have been spotted
in numerous films and TV shows, such as
Click, Men in Black, Detroit Rock City,
Shorties Watchin' Shorties, as well as Saved
by the Bell and CSI.
Recently My Chemical Romance did a cover of
the song "Astro Zombies" for the Tony Hawk's
American Wasteland videogame. The band Aiden
did a cover of "Die, Die My Darling" for the
Kerrang! magazine compilation. AFI have
covered several Misfits songs, including
"Halloween" on All Hallows E.P,"Last Caress"
on the vinyl edition of Shut Your Mouth and
Open Your Eyes and "Demonomania" on A Fire
Inside E.P . Also in the Red Hot Chili
Peppers video, "Dani California", lead singer
Anthony Kiedis represented the Misfits by
dressing like Glenn Danzig in a portion of
the video. A Green Day side project known as
The Network recently did a cover of the song
"Teenagers From Mars" which originally
appeared on the Misfits album Static Age. The
Mexican rock band Molotov did a cover of the
song "I turned into a Martian" with the song
"Marciano" on their cover album Con Todo
Respeto. The Texas Chainsaw Mascara covered
"Halloween" for their MySpace in celebration
of the holiday in 2006.
Caroline Records released an album titled
"Violent World - A Tribute to the Misfits"
that payed homage to the band with covers by
various punk, hardcore and metal bands. It
included the bands: Snapcase, Pennywise,
Shades Apart, Tanner, Therapy?, Prong, 108,
The Bouncing Souls, Goldfinger, Deadguy, Sick
of it All, NoFX, Earth Crisis and Farside.
In 2002, during their Halloween show at the
Metro, Alkaline Trio gave away 7" records to
attendees. The two tracks on them were covers
of Halloween and Children in Heat. Derek
Grant, the drummer of Alkaline Trio once
auditioned to be in the Misfits, but the spot
was taken by Michael Graves. Both Derek Grant
and Matt Skiba have admitted to being
influenced by The Misfits. Derek Grant can
often be seen with a devilock.
The 2002 release by NOFX, "45 or 46 Songs
That Weren't Good Enough for our Other
Records" features a cover of "Last Caress"
that originally appeared on the Violent World
Tribute.
In 2006 the band Sum 41 recorded a cover of
the song "Attitude" for their MySpace and as
a B-side for their new album expected to be
released in early 2007.
Brodie Foster Hubbard has not only performed
Misfits songs at his live shows, but fronts a
Misfits tribute band called 138 with members
of Night Wolf. The title and album cover of
his second CD release, Legacy of
Sentimentality, was an homage to the Misfits
collection Legacy of Brutality. His third CD
release, Don't Screw Up Like I Did, concludes
with a cover of "Astro Zombies".
In common with the Ramones, The Misfits have
had some of their songs covered by The Nutley
Brass - on the album The Misfits Meet The
Nutley Brass Fiend Club Lounge - in a lounge
music style.
In the Lamb of God DVD Killadelphia, D.
Randall Blythe, the band's vocalist can be
seen wearing Misfits slip-on shoes in one of
the hidden features when the band records
their commentary.
