Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
In their live sets, the Coffin Caddies incorporate the technical underpinnings of punk and innovative twists. Singer/songwriter Rei Horror believes that real life is too difficult to write about and that fictional subjects are more entertaining. As a result, the band’s lyrics are based on videogames, comic books, and movies — discussing Michael Myers and Spider-Man. When the Coffin Caddies perform covers, they make sure the tunes are rarities blended into their always-changing set lists, consisting primarily of their 21 original numbers. Re-creating the stage personas of the Misfits and the Ramones, the boys use simple three-chord progressions with short, simple melodies and haunting vocals. Oh, and the Coffin Caddies’ energy-driven concerts are loud. Very loud.
