Misfits Together

Dan Smith and Ralph Pelleymounter present Misfits Together, a new album project inspired by the relationship of Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller, performed at Alexandra Palace in north London.

Dan Smith is a British singer active since 2008, signed to Capitol Records, who performs indie pop, rock and synth-pop. He is also the songwriter, composer and frontman of Bastille, a role that has brought him a Grammy nomination and a Brit Award. Ralph Pelleymounter, songwriter and frontman of To Kill A King, has worked with Smith for a long time. Moira Mack joins them as featured vocalist for these shows.

The project is not tied to a single genre. Its subject is the relationship of Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller, set against 1950s America and its McCarthyism, the treatment of women in Hollywood, celebrity, political persecution and the struggle for artistic freedom. The recording was produced by multi-instrumentalist Will Bloomfield. It was made over the summer of 2025 at Dairy Studios in Brixton, with further sessions in Suffolk and at Abbey Road Studios in London.

Alexandra Palace is a Grade II listed entertainment and sports venue on Alexandra Palace Way, between Wood Green and Muswell Hill. It mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts, which suits the audience for this combination of indie, rock and pop songwriting.
