Tricie & The Phantom Punks have resurrected a cult‑horror icon with the release of their brand‑new cover of The Misfits‘ Vampira, the single also marks the anniversary of the release of Ed Wood‘s legendary sci‑fi horror oddity, Plan 9 from Outer Space, that immortalised the original queen of the undead herself, Vampira. With their signature blend of snarling punk energy, punkabilly swagger, and fierce femme lead vocals, Tricie & The Phantom Punks are tearing open the coffin lid on this fan‑favorite anthem, injecting it with their own electrified, horror‑punk venom and paying homage to The Misfits‘ legacy without ever losing their own identity.
“Vampira has always been a Goth Queen, a symbol of outsider power, camp, and eerie glamour. As a Femme-Fronted Horror Punk band, we put our own spin on the song and releasing this cover on the anniversary of Plan 9 felt like the perfect way to honor her legacy and celebrate the Queen.”(bassist Phantom 1)
