New TeamMates news...

Many of you know that we have added a classical violist to the band, his name is BENN, XRIS met him in the

back of a paddy wagon, he rocks... think Apocalyptica

( obscure reference, but if you know what i'm talkin' bout, you'll be psyched )

xris and benn.. about to meet. ------ photo courtesy New York Times

but, as if that isn't enough to digest, everyone Welcome SAMM on 2nd Gtr, making us even Fatter.

he wrote us a letter asking if he could be our roadie / mailorder guy, and we quickly demoted him to Lead/Rhythm GTR.

 

S$SAM will make a debut LIVE appearance at Messenger Championships GIG (july 4th!)\

TEAM MISFITS RETURNS

 

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Halloween night 2003, a full capacity crowd at the Sanctuary in Philadelphia gathered to see NYC Ska Punk Poets Team Spider.
Much to the crowd’s surprise, Team Spider took the stage in full Misfits regalia, and relentlessly tore through Misfit song after Misfit song, performing a full set - all from the Misfits’ classic era of 1977-1982.
The ferocious set list included, HALLOWEEN. SHE, WHERE EAGLE’S DARE, GHOULS NIGHT OUT, ANGEL FUCK, HOLLYWOOD BABYLON, BULLET, HYBRID MOMENTS, SKULLS, ASTRO ZOMBIES, WHO KILLED MARILYN, HORROR BUSINESS, SOME KINDA LOVE, LONDON DUNGEON, LAST CARESS, and DIE DIE DIE MY DARLING, and many others.
The crowd went wild from song to song, massive sing-alongs, and pile-ons ensued, and by the end of the night, the crowd was a sweaty, bloody mess - begging for more. “Team Misfits” announced they were returning to the grave, but perhaps would rise again some eve. That night will come, Oct. 2004. New York City. Location: secret. Check back right before halloween weekend.
