INDIANAPOLIS – The Vogue in Broad Ripple welcomes the Misfits on Wednesday, Oct. 22, 2014 at 9 p.m., doors open at 8 p.m., as part of the Sun King Concert Series for Punk Rock Night – The Official Halloween Show.
At the dawn of the punk movement in April 1977, the Misfits were born from hell. They wound up making history and creating a legacy that has truly withstood the test of time. Today, boasting a massive catalog of music old and new, a new lineup and an influence felt around the world, the Misfits are generating more interest than ever before.
From its inception, the Misfits were primal. Their music was aggressive, confrontational and dangerous with violent lyrics as seen through the eyes of a monster, 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 punk and they had created a rebellion all their own.
Over thirty years on, the Misfits have endured hardcore’s heyday as punk rock’s monster squad, a band whose cult following – a pseudo-secret coven known as the Fiend Club – inspired them to continue to write, record and tour. These “Fiends” (as their fans are known), which are still multiplying globally, go back now several generations and also includes many artists.
Today, The Misfits remain more aggressive, more topical and more sought after than ever before, fronted by Jerry Only (Bass/Vocals), Dez Cadena on guitar and the latest addition, drummer Eric “Chupacabra” Arce. With the release of their album in 2011, The Devil’s Rain, it is certain that with the Misfits, everyday is Halloween.

Tickets are $25-$30 on sale now at The Vogue Box Office, online at thevogue.com, ticketfly.com or charge-by-phone at 877-4-FLY-TIX (435-9849). The Vogue is located at 6259 N.
