When Supla almost auditioned to be part of the Misfits

Misfits is one of the most iconic bands in punk rock history. A reference to the so-called horror punk, a segment that mixes traditional characteristics of the musical style with elements from horror films, the group was as influential as it was unstable. Its classic period only lasted from 1977 to 1983, with a return from the 1990s that did not attract the same attention due to the lack of vocalist involvement. Glenn Danzig.

And it was precisely during this return, which officially took place in 1995, that a Brazilian could have been part of the group. It is none other than Supplementsinger who has also become a public figure in our country with his various appearances on TV shows and social media highlights.

In a video published in 2021 on Instagram, the son of politicians Edward It is Marta Suplicy said that, in the mid-1990s, he learned that the Misfits would hold an audition to find a new vocalist. At the time, the band had just been reformed by bassist Jerry Only and by his brother, the guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein. In addition to Danzigthe drummer robo valverde was not involved.

The audition would be at the concert hall Coney Island Highwhere Supplement was working at the time in New York, the city in the United States where the artist resided at the time. Perfect scenario for him to take the stage and demonstrate some of his talent, right?

Wrong. The Brazilian, curiously, chose not to participate in the audition because he was dedicated to the Psycho 69a punk/hardcore band that lived in New York between 1994 and 1997.

“In the 1990s, they [Misfits] were looking for singer. I was dressed in Super Supplement and they auditioned [na casa de shows]. Whoever wanted could go up there and sing. He was so focused on Psycho 69, mad parade which I ended up not even doing, you know? I worked at Coney Island High, threw fans down at punk shows and stuff. But that’s it, man… imagine me becoming the lead singer of Misfits?”
