Ready to indulge in a little horror punk? It’s time to bring a little Misfits nostalgia to Buffalo – the band is playing at Iron Works on Thursday 27 March 2014.
A bit of a blast from the past – the last time that I caught Misfits was at The Continental… ahhh, the memories. I’m happy to see that Iron Works is bringing back some bands that have not played around town for a while.
Side note: can I put a special request in for The Damned? Saw them play The Showplace Theater back in the day. In the early days the two bands had an interesting history together.
And now back to Misfits. This might not be the legendary line-up of the group’s glory years, but it’s still going to be a high powered show featuring many of the hit songs of the past. Mainstay Jerry Only is the only ‘missing link’ still onboard with the program (from the days of founding member Danzig) – so long Doyle (still tours with Danzig), Dr. Chud, Michael Graves and various other acquisitions including past members of Black Flag and The Ramones.
Today the line-up is Only, Dez Cadena (Black Flag), and drummer Eric “Chupacabra” Arce. If you’ve never caught a Misfits show, then here’s your chance to do so in The Cobblestone District.
