In 1979, The Misfits solidified their place in punk rock history, with the band continuing to build on their distinctive fusion of horror themes, fast tempos, and rebellious energy. Led by Glenn Danzig, the Misfits were at the forefront of the American punk scene, known for their provocative image and dark, high-energy music.The year was marked by significant events, including the release of their influential "Night of the Living Dead" EP, which became a staple of their early catalog and further established the band's unique blend of horror and punk rock. They also continued to perform across the East Coast and beyond, gaining a reputation for their chaotic live shows and wild antics.One of the most notable incidents of the year was the band's infamous arrest in London, where Danzig and bassist Jerry Only were detained after a violent altercation during a show. This event further solidified their punk rock persona of anarchy and defiance.Throughout 1979, The Misfits’ connections to the New York punk scene, particularly through venues like the Mudd Club, became crucial to their cultural influence. The band's growing influence was reflected in their relationship with key figures in the punk community, including Patricia Ragan of Punk Magazine and Howie Pyro of The Blessed.
