The Owl Acoustic Lounge was packed, Oct. 31 for the perfect Halloween band — new local Misfits tribute 138. I missed their debut at the Slice the night before, so was glad to have caught most of their last set at the Slice.
The band featured Donovan Howell on lead vocals, Barbraedian Nickel on bass, Devin Gergel on guitar and “Vijar Von Violence, the only one in a full mask, pounding away on the drums at the back of the stage.
The band did spooktacular versions of a lot of the horror punk pioneers’ classics including “ Dig Up her Bones,”,“Die Die My Darling,” “Skull,” “Last Caress” and ended their set with the extremely apt “Halloween.”
They ran through their entire repertoire and were called back for an encore, so they redid “Last Caress.”
They were spot on and even looked the part with makeup and Misfits shirts.
