Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein - Guitars

Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein was born Paul Caiafa on September 15, 1964 in Lodi, New Jersey. He is most well-known as the guitarist of the horror punk band The Misfits, which he joined in October 1980, at the age of 16.

Doyle is considered by many in the horror punk scene as a legendary guitarist, setting the standard for future acts that attempt to emulate his aggressive playing style, skull cranking, and hulking stage presence.

In 1987, four years after the Misfits broke up, Doyle and Jerry formed the metal band Kryst The Conqueror. However, they never had a vocalist and only played a few shows, although they did record one album which was only released in its entirety on cassette.

After several years of legal negotiations with The Misfits, Doyle helped to reform The Misfits in 1995. Doyle contributed greatly to two full length albums of new material.

Doyle is married to former pro wrestler Stephanie Bellars, aka Gorgeous George. They have a beautiful daughter named Boriss together.

Doyle began writing material that would become Gorgeous Frankenstein not long after he left the Misfits. After moving out west with his family the process accelerated once work began with former band mate and friend Glenn Danzig.

Doyle continues to crank skulls and crush cities with the finesse of Kong.

"Left Hand" Graham Reaper - Bass

Bringing an Old School Punk style with an explosive aggression, Graham is the rock solid anchor to any band he plays in.

He's a veteran of the New Jersey Punk Scene, starting out in many bands that generally ended shows in a hail of broken equipment and blood. This upbringing in the seething New Jersey underground taught Graham to brandish his bass as a weapon of musical destruction.

In 1998, Graham joined an ambitious band called Fast Times. With him holding down the bottom end, Fast Times traveled to every corner of America like a band on a mission. They became renowned for their energetic and unpredictable live shows. While playing the Mind Over Matter Festival in Europe, Fast Times shared a dressing room with The Misfits. This would be the beginning of many things to come. On this European tour, Graham also played guitar for the reunited hardcore legends Upfront.

When Michale Graves and Dr. Chud decided to start their next project after leaving The Misfits, they summoned Graham to fill the position of bass player. His dependable rhythm and melodic sensibilities fit the bill perfectly. Graves was formed, and quickly became a force to be reckoned with. They played multiple tours and recorded the underground classic "Web Of Dharma". After Graves disbanded, Graham continued to work with Dr. Chud, laying down some bass tracks for X Ward's "Diagnosis For Death" album.

In 2003, Graham joined Let It Burn, who had recently signed to The Bouncing Souls' Chunksaah records. After recording a split cd for Doghouse records, Let It Burn went on a headlining tour of Europe, and an American tour with The Bouncing Souls.

Graham is also a founding member of Blackpool, a band which showcases the more experimental aspects of his bass playing while still maintaining his powerful sonic signature. After Blackpool released their debut album, "Suspend Belief", they recorded a video for the single, "Dissolve".

Endlessly creative and productive, Graham brings a craftsmanship not usually seen in bass players.

On bass, Graham completes the truly devastating rhythm machine that is Gorgeous Frankenstein.

Dr. CHUD - Drums

Dr. CHUD has over the years become a name among fans and musicians alike rightfully taking its place among of that of the status of icon. Dr. CHUD, one of the most formidable components of the resurrected MISFITS shown brightly not only as a drumming taskmaster, but also as a directing force behind the band's songwriting and subsequent catalog of material.

He was born in Lodi, NJ in 1964 to what would become a circle of musical accomplishment. Stemming forth from this town was the vestige of many to be successes such as Glenn Danzig, Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein, Jerry Only, Eerie Von, and a continued list of talent that CHUD would deservingly share company amidst.

Dr. CHUD began playing drums at a very early age and had already been involved in a number of dedicated projects by the time he joined the MISFITS in 1995. These projects, all work guided efforts put forth by the good doctor included an 8 year stint with Dan Kidney and the Pulsations before he moved on to Sardonica and it's closely related sister band Sacred Trash.

During his time in Sardonica, Dr. CHUD was approached by lifelong friends Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein and brother Jerry Only of the now disbanded Misfits, and asked to play drums for what became a brief interment project entitled Kryst The Conqueror.

Amidst all of this, talks of reforming the Misfits had been circulating amidst the disbanded members continued to develop into less of an idea and more into a course of action. Henceforth, in the Fall of 1995 this action became solidified and the Misfits were reborn.

Dr. CHUD took with prestige the role of drums, but naturally there were hurdles to cross greater than just filling positions within the band. Songwriting was a key element that the band needed in order to develop the strong backbone needed to carry such a dutiful name and band into a new era.

Dr. CHUD, as initially stated, came to prove himself to be the guiding force not just behind the monstrous and intimidating drums that he had designed for himself, but in the area of creative dynamic as well. Writing most of the catalog of what is now heralded as the Misfits new classics, Dr. CHUD has become amongst Misfits fans one of the most iconic figures to ever hold position in the band.

Moreover, Doc had a huge hand in the overall production and mastering of all the Misfits recorded material from his inception to their disbanding in 2001.

Behind his blood bespattered robes, rubber gloves, and theatrical lurkings are the skills to back up any given rhythmic needs.

Like his band mate Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein Dr. CHUD, being as much of a craftsman as he is a musician, has taken his craft very personally. His awareness that the proper combinations of tone, aesthetic, and function are paramount led to the construction of one of the most instantly recognizable, lethal drum kits ever made.

After the dissolution of the Misfits in 2001, Dr. CHUD continued writing and releasing records, the first of which was a project entitled GRAVES in which he and the former singer of the MISFITS wrote and released a record which was followed by a few years of touring. After dissolving, GRAVES the Good Doctor continued to write and release records on his very own Bloodwork Records through the conduit of his own band, THE X WARD.

Ever present, ever active, and with equal stamina completing many US tours via the X WARD, CHUD remained visible on his own until approached by Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein to rejoin him again in his new band GORGEOUS FRANKENSTEIN.

CHUD has proved by example that he will accent any efforts this band will set forth.

In the fallen remains of the Resurrected Misfits rose a project that would find its origins through the vision of Guitarist Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein.

Doyle, the hulking Misfits axeman, with his unmistakable presence and notorious guitar sound began to write songs that would most recently become recorded and released under the banner of the name Gorgeous Frankenstein. The name was decided upon as a way to combine both Doyle and wife Stephanie Bellars (Gorgeous George of WC...wrestling fame) names into one conceptual theme. Doyle originally wrote the first few songs of the Gorgeous Frankenstein project with for wife George to dance to.

Reuniting after many years with his mentor Glenn Danzig upon a chance occurance initiated by George, fate dealt a wonderful hand. A rekindled friendship now between them, Doyle brought Glenn's attention to his new project. Danzig soon suggested he produce and release the songs on his label Evillive. Glenn has played a major role in the development of the band in the sense that he has overseen and guided the efforts from the very beginning. After having his foundations set, Doyle then set out to assemble the band.

Argyle Goolsby of Blitzkid fame was suggested to Doyle though friend Dr. Chud after Goolsby completed a tour as touring bassist for Dr. Chuds' band the X Ward. Upon Chud's suggestion Goolsby sent his audition tape to Doyle and not long after that received the call to join the band.

Time elapsed as a drummer and vocalist was sought. Auditions were held and in August of 2007 Doyle called Goolsby who was at the time on tour in Europe with Blitzkid informing him that a singer had been found but the drummer position hadn't been so fortunate yet.

Landon Blood had recently been recruited to sing on the upcoming record and front the band live. Landon a resident of Las Vegas, NV. made numerous trips to CA. to visit with Doyle and Glenn most of that time spent in the studio to lay down vocal tracks for the album.

During this time a drummer was still being sought out and Argyle Goolsby continued to tour with his band Blitzkid until his services and presence was needed out west.

Glenn would be shooting a video for the band in a weeks time from that phone call given to Goolsby, and for the time a fill in drummer was needed at least for the video shoot. Goolsby suggested that his drummer Jesco fly out to California with him to meet up and appear in the video. This plan went through and a week later both Goolsby and Jesco were in California for the video shoot.

After shooting the video Goolsby with Jesco along visited Doyle and George for some time and they both got to know Jesco. Before the two returned home Jesco was asked to join Gorgeous Frankenstein.

Goolsby and Jesco were informed while they were there that Glenn had just arranged for a 3 week tour of America that upcoming October and that Gorgeous Frankenstein were going to be the opening band. With this news Goolsby and Jesco returned home to pack yet again for a longer trip and came back to California a week later.

By this time it was mid sept. 07 and rehearsals began at an undisclosed mountain retreat affectionately termed the monster lab. Vocalist Landon met up with the rest of the guys for these practices that went on daily into weekly into what ended up being a month.

Upon the threshold of the tour, days before they were to leave for their first tour as a band, Doyle replaced Landon and asked Goolsby to fill the position. It had been kicked around before the idea of Goolsby singing but Doyle wanted Goolsby to remain a presence on the bass and not be rooted to a microphone. the solution was found in giving Goolsby a wireless headset mic.

With just days to rework it all into what had to be a flawless set, Doyle worked with Goolsby helping him learn the songs over as both singer and bassist. The task was fortunately taken in stride by Goolsby as his work in Blitzkid under the same circumstances helped him assimilate it all pretty quickly. Just days later the band boarded a plane bound for the east coast.

Along with Danzig and his band they arrived to play their first show at the Ram's Head Live in Baltimore, Maryland. The tour spanned 3 weeks and was known as The Three Weeks of Halloween Tour. Both east and west coast dates were played.

Recently Jesco Devilanse left Gorgeous Frankenstein to pursue and focus on more personal aspects of his life. George is working very closely with both Doyle and Goolsby on all aspects of the band's future and continues to be a strong and supportive fixture to the inner working of it all.

It should be said in closing that the addition of Goolsby to vocals after the release of the record has prompted much confusion. Goolsby in fact is NOT singing on the current album. The album vocalist is Landon. Goolsby replaced Landon AFTER the release of the record.

Both Doyle and Goolsby are in the process now of writing songs together to amass what will become the next Gorgeous Frankenstein album in which Goolsby will sing and play bass on as Doyle will naturally slay guitar.

Gorgeous Frankenstein, thought taking some time to get off the ground now has a solid sight on it's future with many new songs being collaborated on continually by Doyle and Goolsby. Stay tuned, it's...it's Alive! Wham-a-mam-a-monsta!
