Former MISFITS Frontman MICHALE GRAVES' Tour In Jeopardy Due To Theft

October 17, 2005

Touring the U.S. in support of his Horror High debut solo release, "Punk Rock is Dead", former MISFITS frontman Michale Graves and his touring band have fallen victim to every touring musicians nightmare. After playing the Nomad World pub late Sunday night (Oct. 16),their touring van was broken into and every single piece of musical equipment was stolen. Along with gear, all merchandise including shirts and CDs were taken.

Putting the band in a precarious situation with no gear to peform with, and no merchandise to sell to fund their way home, Michale is adamant with continuing the tour, and refuses to cancel shows. In the previous week, immediately following a Portland, OR show Michale was rushed to emergency due to a severe ear infection. Against doctor’s recommendations of resting, Graves insisted on continuing the tour.

Michale Graves can be heard on the ROADRUNNER UNITED "The All-Star Sessions" CD, which was released on October 11. Graves contributes vocals and lyrics to the track "I Don't Wanna Be (A Superhero)", also featuring Matthew K. Heafy (TRIVIUM) on lead and rhythm guitar, Justin Hagberg (3 INCHES OF BLOOD) on rhythm guitar, Mike D'Antonio (KILLSWITCH ENGAGE) on bass and Dave Chavarri (ILL NINO) on drums.

Michale's remaining tour dates are as follows:

Oct. 18 - Wichita, KS @ Joni's Club
Oct. 19 - Cedar Falls, IA @ The Reverb
Oct. 20 - St. Louis, MO @ Creepy Crawl
Oct. 21 - Cincinnati, OH @ T.B.A.
