the MISFITS_36 shots from max’s kansas city

Limited to 666 copies, the MISFITS’ first rare shots are reprinted. 1978 was the birth year of punk rock, the year the Pistols broke up. The Misfits, formed by Glen Danzig and Jerry Only, had already started to make their breakthrough. In a short span of time, they released NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, HORROR BUSINESS, and HALLOWEEN singles. 1981 saw the release of the classic WALK AMONG US. This is where the band became known all over the world. Among the punk bands of the time, whose lyrics often contained political messages, MISFITS had a certain dreamy songwriting that approached only horror fantasy, which was the exclusive domain of MISFITS.

Unpublished black and white live shot of the Misfits at max’s kansas city, NY on December 20, 1978, taken by Lisa Lombardo, a girlfriend from Jerry Only High School, the year the second single “Bullet” was released. This is a rare collection of photos from the early days of the Misfits, before Doyle joined the band and before Debbie Lockhair was established. Max’s Kansas City opened in 1965 and was home to Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Velvet Underground, Alice Cooper, and the NY Dolls. It closed completely in 1981. Limited to 666 copies
