Misfits re-launch the Fiend Club

Contributed by andyponch. Posted by aubin on Thursday, November 6, 2008 at 3:30 PM (EST)

The Misfits have relaunched their beloved "Fiend Club" fan club. Originally founded in 1979 in the band's earlier period, the club was run by Glenn Danzig who ran the club and silk-screened t-shirts, assembled records, mailed out merchandise catalogs, booked gigs, and responded to fan mail.

The relaunched club is being run by Jerry Only and will include a vintage 8x10 glossy Misfits photo, a glow in the dark shirt, patches, membership cards and more.

You can find more details here.

You order an 8x10 glossy, but instead get a soiled newspaper and a swift kick in the crotch.

Jerry relaunched this back in 96. Why is this news?

When I see that logo, all I can think is "Micheal Graves" and how much the misfits don't matter anymore.

dude, he may not have been danzig (who is at times a douchebag), but graves was a great frontman/performer all the same, and the new misfits albums they put out with him on vox are damn good.

spoon_of_grimbo (November 6, 2008)

finally someone who shares my view on graves-era misfits!

but since he left it's gone to shit.

Old AFI will forever be my favorite band.

The first rule of fiend club is you don't talk about fiend club
The second rule of fiend club is you have to pay 30 bucks to get in
The third rule of fiend club is you have to buy as much shit as possible

This band is a joke now, but that logo still kicks ass on a poster.
