Misfits - Capitol Perth

In 1977, the dawn of punk, the Misfits were born. This year, over three decades later, they descend on Australia, with a legacy of musical history that has withstood the test of time. The Misfits hit up Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide in November / December.

From inception, the Misfits were primal. Their music was aggressive, confrontational and dangerous with violent lyrics, coupled with timeless vocal melodies bred from 1950’s rock and roll. Immortalizing black and white horror films in their music, the Misfits developed a ghoulish and totally unique persona. It was the early days of anarchy and they had created a rebellion all of their own.

The Misfits have endured hardcore’s heyday as punk rock’s monster squad, a band whose cult following – a coven known as the Fiend Club – inspired them to continue to write, record and tour. Influential rock peers Guns ‘n Roses, Metallica, My Chemical Romance, Hatebreed, NoFX and Sick Of It All, are amongst some who have offered musical tributes in ode to the Misfits.
