PLAN 9 Capturing The Raw Energy And Spirit Of GLENN DANZIG-Era MISFITS

August 15, 2008

Nickel and Dime Records has announced the release of PLAN 9's "Manmade Monster" for worldwide distribution. The group's sophomore CD includes 13 original songs that capture the raw energy and spirit of the Glenn Danzig-era MISFITS, but with a fresh songwriting perspective and ass-kicking high identity.

PLAN 9 originally formed in San Francisco circa 1997 as a one-shot, one-time MISFITS tribute band. The show sold out in under an hour and was attended by none other than Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield of METALLICA, and Jim Martin of FAITH NO MORE. The crowd was mystified by the extreme likeness that PLAN 9 bore to the actual MISFITS, both musically and visually. Led by Scary Only of the infamous psychobilly band THE HELLBILLYS, PLAN 9 began to carve out a vast following with their aggressive, powerful and theatrical live shows.

Years later, PLAN 9 became one of California's most popular bands playing for the likes of Glenn Danzig and Jerry Only (Jerry appears on their debut release as well). They have mutated from a "tribute band" to a legitimate death-rock band, writing and producing their own material.

Their debut release, "8 Hits From Hell" (2004),led critics and fans alike to hail PLAN 9 as the only true successors of the original MISFITS sound.
