Misfits?

“…The Misfits have always held an incredibly high standard of performance and quality in everything we do. Our fans expect this and deserve it. I will not compromise their expectations for any amount of money, prestige or fame…..”

Lets play a guessing game. Is the quote:

  • A) Spoken by Glenn Danzig with respect to the reformation of The Misfits.
  • B) Spoken by Jerry Only with respect to The Misfits dropping off the previously mentioned Volcom Tour.
  • C) Part of a longer quote where Jerry Only also hawked Misfits-brand pomade (“when you absolutely positively must have that perfect devilock!”)

If you answered B, sadly, you are correct (although, C isn’t far off). The Misfits have dropped off a tour with Motorhead and Valient Thorr, but added a pair of NYC-area shows: Halloween (“hall-low-waaay-ay-ayne”) at BB Kings and November 1st at Starland Ballroom in NJ (ticket info currently unavailable). The Misfits 2008 are Jerry Only, Robo (also ex-Black Flag) and Dez Cadena (ex-Black Flag).

Danzig is gearing up for the Blackest Of The Black Tour with Dimmu Borgir and Skeletonwitch, including one date at Roseland on 10/15 (tix still avail). We’re not sure if there will be another Danzig+Doyle Misfits set on this tour (probably not).

Both Danzig and “Misfits” touring and playing NYC shows around Halloween is somewhat of a tradition. All dates below…
