Sa 12/11- THE MISFITS, w I T H CHaOTIC, LEFT
IN RUINS, a N d THE JUKEBOX ROMaNTICS
a T T H E CH a N C E TH E aT E R, PO U g H K E E P S I E—
A punk band that has lasted thirty years is
something to truly fear. That takes a powerful
combination of toughness, ambition, and straightup
dementia to pull off. New Jersey’s The Misfits
fits the bill: formed in 1977 when punk was t H e mi S Fi t S
flailing and screaming fresh from the womb, they took their name from
Marilyn Monroe’s last movie and created their own twisted mythology,
using black-and-white B-movie horror for a template, keeping the
music suitably violent and primal. The result is a massive catalog, a
multi-generational international cult following (“The Fiend Club”),
and massive peer respect from groups as disparate as Guns ‘N Roses,
Metallica, My Chemical Romance, and Hatebreed. A decade-long legal
battle with original singer Glenn Danzig in the 80s seemed to sharpen
their ferocity, and with the return of founding member Jerry Only (bass/
vocals) joining with former Black Flag guitarist Dez Cadena and original
Misfits drummer Robo, the trio hasn’t looked back since, touring and
recording relentlessly. With Chaotic, Left In Ruins, and the Jukebox
Romantics opening. The Chance Theater, 6 Crannell St., Poughkeepsie,

gU I L d (wBg) a T BEaRSVILLE TH E aT E R, wO O d S T O C K—Just as the
Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild digs deep into the fertile artistic community
of Woodstock for its ever-popular “5 X 7 Show” (please see this month’s
roll art & image), so do they also with the regional music community
for their Annual Solstice Concert benefit. And what a community it is.
Concert leader Happy Traum needs no introduction in these parts, but
here’s a quick one for out-of-towners: 1963 with the New World Singers,
cut first recording of Dylan’s “Blowing in the Wind,” wrote the influential
Fingerpicking Styles for Guitar, multiple tours and recording with brother and
guitar virtuoso Artie Traum, guest appearance on Dylan’s Greatest Hits,
Vol. 2, with wife Jane founder of Homespun Tapes, a hugely valuable
musical resource, where the masters of musical instruments and genres
themselves teach the lessons.
