This group of Misfits came out of Dallas and North Texas State University in nearby Denton. They cut a fine original folk-rock song, “No One Else” backed with a good version of “Route 66” on Repent 520 in August, 1966.
This was not the same Misfits who became the Lost and Found. The Misfits who became Lost & Found were from Houston, and, according to an old interview with Jim Frost, never played in Dallas, and never recorded as the Misfits.
This news clipping shows all the members’ names are different than any in the Lost & Found.
The Dallas News ran a photo of Joe Daughtery, the writer of “No One Else” performing with the Misfits and a short article on the group:
If you drive around the shore of White Rock Lake on almost any Sunday afternoon, you’ll come to a brown-rock picnic building where a controlled riot seems to be getting out of control.
But ask any of the mob of teen-agers standing and jumping around and you’ll be assured it’s really just a Sunday concert in the park.
The picnic building has grown in the last few years into a kind of proving ground for the detonations of ambitious and un-shy teen-age combos.
Sunday a sign in front of the band said: “The Misfits. Open for engagements. Call FL2-4046.”
But when the Misfits began blasting something called “Dirty Water,” the sign disappeared in a flood of weaving and bobbing couples.
…
“We get a lot of engagements this way,” said Joe Daugherty, the 21-year-old guitarists and singer who runs the Misfits. “A fellow from a fraternity just asked us to play a party.”
Daugherty and two other Misfits – drummer Rick Price, 22, and bass guitarist Mark McLane, 20 – are North Texas State University business students. Lead guitarist Jim Adkins, 23, works in a Dallas bank.
“We cut a record of a couple of my songs but nothing much happened,” said Daugherty.
Hundreds of kids sometimes mob the picnic building. Nobody seems to be in charge or worried about the noisy blowout. Policemen stop and watch a bit then move on …
Like any musician, Daugherty observed, “The acoustics are pretty bad in that building. Sometimes it gets kind of deafening.”
The Bitter Ende. Joe Daugherty holding guitar at left. Other members unknown – can anyone help with IDs?
The Bitter Ende to play at TCU Tech Stop, November 1967. Same group?Joe Daugherty formed another group called the Bitter Ende, but I don’t have any info on the membership of that group.
Thank you to Patrick Daugherty for contacting me about his father’s band, and sending in the news clipping and photo of the Bitter Ende.
