I was curious if they are still rockin' or if they disbanded. They're rockin' but only kinda. Dee Snider is no longer part of the band. Plus - I learned about Ho-Ho-Kus.

Twisted Sister is an American heavy metal band formed in 1972 in Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey, and later based on Long Island, New York. [...] Twisted Sister disbanded in 1988.

During the late 1990s and early 2000s, the band played a series of one-off shows before reuniting more permanently in 2003. They released two more albums, Still Hungry (2004), a re-recording of their third album, and a Christmas album, A Twisted Christmas (2006). Following Pero's death in 2015, the band embarked on a farewell tour and subsequently separated again after completing the tour in 2016.

They announced another reunion in September 2025, but their planned tour dates were cancelled in February 2026 due to Snider's health issues, which resulted in his departure from the band. In the following month, it was announced that Twisted Sister will continue as a band, with former Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach filling in for Snider.

Huh, Sebastian is a surprisingly good fit. Also, the "Still Hungry" versions of some of the heavier "Stay Hungry" material were actually pretty brutal ("The Beast," "Horror-Teria," and "Burn in Hell" come to mind, in roughly that order.)

Saw them in concert, general admission. Dee Snider in your face is not a pleasant experience. Completely harshed.
