Music Menu / News Check it Hollywood Lies, Misfits (12/10/2009)

Posted By on Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 3:38 PM

Hollywood Lies Performing live for a cesspool of 1,000+ lip-syncing fans is cake to these bad boys from Boston. Expect pretty hard-core 20-second electric guitar riffs in the opening to most of their indie/alternative rock songs. With the release of its second CD, This is a Murder Scene, the band jumped onboard its new vamped-up van and is doing what any band who wants recognition, er, wants to promote their music does ... go on a rock road trip. Check them out when they rock their way through Charlotte; you won't be disappointed. Tremont Music Hall (Nicole Pietrantonio)

Misfits Let's get the (little, muscle-bound) white elephant out of the way early – there's no Glenn Danzig on this tour. But there is original bassist Jerry Only and Black Flag's Robo on drums and Dez Cadena on guitar, which is probably worth the price of admission raht thurr. Throughout the band's various incarnations – with Mssr. Only the, er, only consistent member – the godfathers of horror punk have laid down the template for all the many acts (Nekromantix being but one) to follow: songs that are as catchy as they are macabre. Sure, they're getting a little long in the tooth, but that somehow only makes them scarier. Amos' Southend (Timothy C. Davis)
