Graves

Soon after their ultimate departure from The Misfits in October 2000, Michale and Chud began collaborating on a new project that would eventually become Graves. During initial rehearsals, Mike put the band on hold to temporarily rejoin The Misfits on the M25 tour as a guest vocalist. In late 2001, a touring lineup was solidified for Graves, and after merely two months together, the new band cut a demo of 5 songs while on tour in California. Prior to Graves, Graham was in Fast Times, and Tom Logan was in a 2001 reincarnation of The Empire Hideous under the guise of Tom Hatez.
