The Misfits And The Nutley Brass Invite You To The Fiend Club Lounge

NEW YORK - The two unlikely worlds of punk rock and the martini-sipping lounge scene have collided as the Misfits Meet the Nutley Brass on a hip, swinging collection entitled “Fiend Club Lounge."

Officially endorsed by the Misfits and released via their Misfits Records label imprint, “Misfits Meet the Nutley
Brass: Fiend Club Lounge” is a smooth ride through 11 Misfits classics, as performed by Sam Elwitt’s
Nutley, N.J., bred Nutley Brass.

“If Grandpa Munster had a band as a teenager it would
have sounded like the Misfits Meet the Nutley Brass!” said Misfits founding member Jerry Only. “Fun for monsters of
all ages.”

Franché Coma, original guitarist for the Misfits, added:
“‘The Misfits meet the Nutley Brass: Fiend Club Lounge’
is one of the best renditions of some of the best
Misfits songs ever recorded. Any true, and I mean true, musician will appreciate the intricacies of the instrumentations on this CD. It takes punk music to
a different level. It shows us how anything is possible if
you want to make it happen.”

The lounge-core tribute to the legendary horror-punk band was envisioned by the project’s Producer, John Cafiero,
who had been directing a Ramones DVD and was in touch with Elwitt for use of some of his music from "The
Ramones Songbook as Played by the Nutley Brass."
Cafiero had discovered the Nutley Brass back in 1995
and after contacting Elwitt about the Ramones DVD, the concept of "Fiend Club Lounge" began to develop.

“Even legendary composers of the genre like Gert Wilden, Esquivel and the Jaguar God himself, Les Baxter would be proud of these Misfits classics, served with a twist and scientifically proven to sooth your road rage,” said Cafiero.

“It’s supposed to be fun and funny,” Elwitt said. “It’s not supposed to replace or improve on Misfits recordings in
any sense. It’s supposed to complement them. Think of it
as just another way to enhance your overall Misfits experience.”
