The Misfits bring their Halloween tour to Peabodys on November 6
Cleveland, October 18The all-star line-up of Jerry, Marky and Dez of the Misfits have taken to the road in support of their new CD, Misfits Project 1950, and will be making a stop at Peabodys Downunder on Thursday, November 6. Special guests are Agent Orange and American Werewolves. Tickets are $20 ADV/$25 DOS, and are now on sale at the Peabodys DownUnder ticket office, all Ticketmaster locations, www.ticketmaster.com or charge by phone at (216) 241-5555.
The Misfits were born in April of 1977 at the dawn of the punk movement in a small town in New Jersey called Lodi. It was there that singer Glenn Danzig and bassist Jerry Only set out to make an impression. They wound up making history and creating a legacy whose power has not only stood the test of time, but also transcended into an entirely new generation. Lineup changes followed and by early 1980, the band coalesced around Danzig and Only along with guitarist Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein (Jerry's youngest brother). Throughout the span of their career, the Misfits audience has developed into an army of "fiends" (the term for die hard Misfits fans), generating more interest today than ever before.
Their aggression is complimented with a strong sense of melody inspired by the roots of rock and roll bred in the 1950's. What further separates the band from their hard-core peers of the 70's punk scene is their inspired fixation on horror movies. From that inspiration they have created an entire world out of a passion for the genre. The Misfits cast a fiendish aura of mystery embodied by ghoulish charm and have landed themselves a massive cult following which continues to expand world wide on a daily basis.
Although the band has seen several lineup changes throughout the years, the common thread that has kept the Misfits thriving is founding member Jerry Only. In addition to a huge catalog of music over the past 25 years, Only and the Misfits have toured relentlessly across the globe. In addition, there have been countless TV appearances worldwide, and the band appeared in four feature films as well as a stint in professional wrestling with Ted Turner's WCW.
Most recently the all-star lineup recorded a Misfits stylized special project showcasing punk covers of classic 1950's era rock and roll hits. Released worldwide this past July, Misfits Project 1950 (which comes complete with a 24 page booklet featuring extensive liner notes and personal quotes from the artists as well as a free limited edition DVD), debuted on Billboard's Heatseekers Chart at #2, Billboard's Top Independent album chart at #5 and #133 in Billboard's Top 200. Through it all, one thing is certainthe Misfits are here to stay and once again everyday is Halloween.
