Last Tuesday, The
Misfits came to New York City to play their annual Halloween tour. This is my fifth
year in a row seeing them on this tour. They played at the
Playstation Theatre, previously known as the Best Buy Theatre. This was my sixth
time seeing the Misfits. The Misfits are
one of my favorite bands of all time, and even though this band is not the original
lineup and doesn’t have any original members, Jerry Only does a great job to
keep this band alive.
The
opening band of the night was She Demons. She Demons is a five piece all-girl hard rock/power pop band from Los Angeles. Before they played, I expected a rockabilly
band or a punk band. The minute they start to play, I disliked them. I
felt I was watching girls playing a harder version of the Runaways and they
brought that 1980’s LA Glam Metal vibe that I can’t stand at all. The music wasn’t that good and they did a bad Ramones cover. Overall, I was not fan of
this band.
Misfits
finally took the stage and literally played an hour and half worth of their
material. They played two albums in it’s entirety, which were Walk Among Us and Earth A.D. The Misfits were great and every song sounded great.
What sucked about this show was that a lot of people there weren’t going off
for them and the venue sucked for this band. This show should have been in a
small place where the real Misfits band should have been at. But it was cool
hearing songs like “Last Caress” and “Astro Zombies.” Usually Jerry Only doesn’t
play some of the Glenn Danzig for some weird reason, but finally hearing them I went
nuts. The entire Earth A.D. part of the set had nonstop circle pits, probably because that’s their
fastest record. I had a lot of fun at this show and I cannot wait to
see the Misfits next October for another Halloween tour.
