Mismiths, Evelyn's Casket

Sometimes taking the bit too far can be a good thing. When some guys from Los Angeles were trying to come up with the worst mashup band names, someone threw out The Smiths and The Misfits to make Mismiths. While erudite jangle rock and horror punk might not seem like a natural fit, nobody could honestly deny that Morrissey’s lyricism can get a bit goth. While initially a joke band playing stylistic mashup covers adorned in Misfits-eque skull makeup with members adopting aliases like “Gorrissey,” Mismith have since morphed into a unique band that also writes original tunes drawing inspiration from their namesakes (see: 2024’s Every Night Is Like Halloween). Watch these bigmouths rock among us when Mismiths West Coast tour stops at The Big Dipper.
