"The images of The Misshapes and their acolytes and devotees and pals should really be read as fabulous immigration photos: the moment when a young man or woman moved forever from suburban kid or Upper Eastside black sheep or so-what teen star to New Yorker, pure and cool." (Sally Singer, VOGUE)
"a low-ceilinged, sweaty, black box of a room is filled with people of every color, sexual-orientation, height, weight, dress-sense (or non-sense) imaginable˜they all have just one thing in common: they're all a little bit...different. The Misshapes have found their box!" (Jarvis Cocker)
