	Project - Destroy All Monsters
		The "noise" band Destroy All Monsters—including Mike Kelley, Cary Loren, Jim Shaw, and Niagara—formed in the 1970s; the current members (Kelley, Loren, and Shaw) work as artists both individually and as the Collective.
		Strange Früt: Rock Apocrypha consists of a video and four mural-sized images painted on canvas in the manner of classic freak-show banners.
		The recording also features reenactments of period rock-oriented urban myths, with a soundtrack by Destroy All Monsters.

	trakMARX - Destroy All Monsters
		Destroy All Monsters were named after a horror movie.
		At this time, Lar had a band called EMPOOL which was mostly psychedelic free improvisation (guitars, electronics, tapes, saxophone, occasionally drums) along with a number of other musicians including myself and brother Roger (the original version of Empool was just Lar and Andre Cynkin on guitars and electronics).
		Perhaps by default from the fact that we were all outcasts of the music scene, the two groups eventually fused together into the second incarnation of Destroy All Monsters; a plodding garage punk sound with a lot of psychedelia hanging on the outer fringe.

	Destroy All Monsters (DAM)
		I was a big fan and saw Destroy All Monsters at least 50 times during that era as I lived between Detroit and Ann Arbor while I was attending college.
		I have seen Destroy All Monsters more times than I can count (I think I am even older than you!) and they were either the best band you have ever heard or the worst, it depended on the night.
		They are a difficult band to research, probably because of their relative obscurity even when they were a performing band.

	Strange Früt: Rock Apocrypha, by the Destroy All Monsters Collective.
		The Art Bands of the late Seventies (Throbbing Gristle, Devo, Talking Heads, the no wave bands, etc, etc.) could be understood as sharing certain concerns with the concurrent appropriation art movement, yet they were never accepted within the gallery or museum system.
		For example, the band Fischer Spooner is sponsored by art world agencies and presented as an art work, in a manner similar to the promotion of the earlier non-musical group Art Club 2000.
		This bands aesthetic was so shoddy and anarchistic that their singers were often picked, at random, out of the audience, and their stage act consisted of inept covers of Fifties rock standards and displays of nudity.

		Destroy All Monsters were spread out in the center of the gallery in what looked like a yard sale or a thrift store gone improvisational performance.
		Destroy All Monsters were surrounded on all four sides by the audience, this layout made the multimedia performance work well.
		Destroy All Monsters helped me put all of his stories into perspective and the Monsters gave me even more respect for Steve MacKay and this important and under recognized music movement.

		The four-man band set the stage with a variety of homemade instruments, many of which appeared to be fashioned from parts of the same mannequin.
		Destroy All Monsters created a riff into which they could enter and leave as easily as they picked up and dropped instruments.
		Destroy All Monsters’ ability to create reckless noise compositions while maintaining a wild sense of humor about the entire undertaking made their set especially enjoyable.

		The sonic menu of Destroy All Monsters, another very local, very Detroit phenomenon, may not prominently feature either Gordy's soul music or Atkins's electronica, but those two pioneers nevertheless provide the group's development with a telling pair of historical bookends.
		Ignored in their own day, and some would say for good reason, DAM were, in their own words, an "anti-band." Apart from the occasional release on flexi-disc or homemade tape, they spent their most fertile period without a label, a manager, or any kind of distribution system.
		Farther on, he half-ironically announces the band's egalitarian mission: "Destroy All Monsters is a call for a new therapeutic popular music....

	TrouserPress.com :: Sonic's Rendezvous Band/Destroy All Monsters
		The split LP with Ron Asheton's Destroy All Monsters again resurrects "City Slang" from the 45 (also reissued elsewhere on a facsimile bootleg single), but with clean, sharp sound, as mean as the original.
		The side also includes a studio instrumental that was obviously intended for vocals and suffers for their absence, and a pair of live tunes on a par with the prior LP.
		Thankfully, flamboyant hack vocalist Kathy Deschaine (the fourth bandmember, the fifth wheel) is relegated to a minor role; nevertheless, the LP elicits a dulled demo feel, lacking the kinetic electricity conjured by the former band even on the crummiest archival bootlegs.

	NIAGARA DETROIT: BIO
		Her crisp, fresh and immediate pictures demonstrate her aesthetic philosophy: “I don’t care about making art that only talks to other artists.” Her artistic career began in the 1970s when she studied painting at the University of Michigan.
		Soon thereafter she invented her signature “Niagara Woman.” While living in Ann Arbor she sang in the chaotic punk band Destroy All Monsters, which included fellow art students Mike Kelley and Jim Shaw, both of whom, like her, are accomplished artists.
		As the band’s lyric writer, she delivers ominous verses that resonate the invective of her pictorial creations in songs like “Let There Be Dark”.

	Excerpts from The Sound Projector issue 1 - Maladroit Rhythms (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		For a band who profess to believe in experimentation their records show every sign of a risk-free studio recording technique: having quickly found a sound they were happy with they've stuck to it.
		Too often the listener is left waiting for something to happen, suggesting the band still has a key lesson or two about the dynamics of repetition to learn from their Krautrock forefathers.
		Less rewarding by far was the gig at The Garage, 23rd September 1995: I've given this band the benefit of the doubt once before at the mostly unlistenable show at The Powerhaus, but this time there's no doubt that the god-awful sound is at least partly the fault of the band.

		Since Niagara burst onto the scene in the ’70s with the seminal punk band Destroy All Monsters, she has been like a fireworks display.
		She deconstructed the intimidation/seduction dichotomy of the classic siren by punk specifications while her poor band mates—the Asheton Brothers (of Stooges fame) and Mike Davis (MC5)—ruled alongside.
		Niagara designed the band’s CD cover art and posters and was soon doing large canvases.

		What stayed, he says was "this unique, weird, insular, unknown and underground scene." Niagara, the lead singer of the late-70's punk band Destroy All Monsters, is now a painter who uses the city as fodder for her work.
		Where her lyrics once screamed of drugs, crime and urban aggression, her portraits of "raving, drag-racing tough girls" continue to capture all the hard-working, drunken, violent punk attitudes of her hometown.
		While the rest of America is living in a television-Internet fairy tale, Detroit is the real world, where things get built and people still work with their hands." Glenn Barr, another artist who has emerged from Detroit's cultural underground, says his early ventures were influenced by the city's car culture.

		DAM preceded "punk music" by several years, although their professed raison d'être was also a reaction against the pomp and circumstance of prog rock, classic rock, the lame El Lay singer/songwriter nonsense that was going on in the early-mid '70s.
		She sent a small drawing with a note that said, "I'll be seeing you on Monster Island one day." (This was after I sent her a copy of the first Monster Island LP), but the piece about Lennon was done from material recorded the night he died.
