## Involvement

### *Misfits VS!* Festival

 The *Misfits VS!* competition was a competition organized by 5x5 Records to win the opportunity to perform opposite The Misfits in a battle of the bands and, if successful, win a recording contract from 5x5. Entrants had to submit a music video, and the top few bands chosen by public vote would be given the chance to compete at a concert. Jem and The Holograms entered this contest with a song called *MoreMoreMore*, which became a viral hit. *Jem and The Holograms*, *The Limp Lizards* and *Ninjas of Loretto* were the bands which were selected to perform for the concert. The concert was held alongside a carnival, including stalls, games and rides.

An argument and food fight broke out at the carnival between The Misfits and The Holograms, which led to The Holograms being disqualified from the contest for poor behavior and ejected from the premises. Because The Misfits were the hosts of the contest and had signed a separate contract, The Misfits were still allowed to perform. It is unknown who, if any, of the remaining two competing bands won the recording contract, because the end of the contest was hijacked by Jem and The Holograms holding an impromptu concert in an abandoned warehouse outside near the concert hall, which drew the whole crowd and performers (*Showtime, Part Six*).

### West Coast Tour

 The Misfits were given an ultimatum to start acting more professionally under threat of being dropped by 5x5 Records. Elise gave the band a new manager, Eric Raymond, who they would have to answer to. Eric negotiated for The Misfits to go on a West Coast tour. Despite their disqualification from the *Misfits VS!* concert, The Holograms' entry was so popular that they were invited to be the opening act for the tour (*Viral!, Part Two*) and offered a recording contract (*Viral!, Part One*). At the 5x5 Records Christmas party, Elise rigs the Secret Santa so that The Misfits and The Holograms have to give each other gifts, to try and encourage the two bands to reconcile (*Holiday Special*).

After Pizzazz is forced to temporarily leave her band due to a fractured larynx (*Rio Pacheco, Boy Reporter*), Elise has the other Misfits hold auditions for a temporary lead vocalist to replace her on the tour. Blaze has the most successful audition, and becomes lead singer of The Misfits for the tour (*Dark Jem, Part One*). When the tour becomes disrupted by the effects of Silica's virus, it is implied that the employees of 5x5 Records are also effected - Eric tells The Misfits it was like talking to zombies after trying to call them for help (*Dark Jem, Part Four*).
