The Joy Kills are no strangers to monsters or wrestling, and the band seems to embrace the superstitions surrounding an unlucky date such as Friday the 13th with punk rock abandon. So it only makes sense that this garage rock act join forces with Monstrosity Championship Wrestling on Dec. 13 for a high-energy holiday horror show involving demented elves, racist wolfmen, a zombie football player and other undead grapplers. Having contributed the synically seasonal “Black Friday” to Blood Drunk Records‘ Family Dinner: A Holiday Compilation, The Joy Kills’ idea of the Christmas spirit is clearly not all that different from that of MCW, which has already featured monstrous Santas in action. To preview the event at Club Famous, Wrestling with Pop Culture talks to The Joy Kills front man Eric Haugh and guitarist Mike Westberg about wrestling, the holidays and other subjects ranging from high school football accolades to potentially satanic messages being hidden in their next album.
