The original DAM lineup.....(when we were just using found instruments and consequently according to Thurston Moore becoming DAM ''the very first noise band'' L-R Jim Shaw (now a museum artist, Mike Kelly now a museum artist, Cary Loren owner of the ''BookBeat'' and Me. The lineup changed when I met Ron Asheton, then he recommended Mike Davis, who brought in Rob King. DAM ran from 74-84. Then I met Colonel who formed Dark Carnival which included Ron Asheton, Scott Asheton Greasy Carlisi, with the occasional guest appearance such as Cheetah Chrome and Jim Carroll.

Video screening in the first-floor Main Gallery and 3pm book signing with Cary Loren.

In conjunction with the new publication, Destroy All Monsters Magazine 1976-1979, published by Primary Information, MoMA PS1 and D.A.P./Distributed Art Publishers present a day-long screening of Shake a Lizard Tail, or Rust Belt Rump, a film created by the band for their 1996 Japanese tour.



The film is a collage of horror exploitation videos, Detroit "Dance City" techno dancers, and late night WGPR television commercials of the 1980s. The commercials feature local Detroit landmarks such as Miley and Miley's Shrimp Shack, the Club Watts Mozambique ladies club, and various funeral homes.


DAM 2

In 1973, the Detroit band Destroy All Monsters was a wild and reckless synthesis of psychedelia, proto-punk, heavy metal, noise and performance art. The collective hailed from Ann Arbor, Michigan, and consisted of Cary Loren, Mike Kelley, Niagara and Jim Shaw (with later members including Ron Asheton of the Stooges, Michael Davis of the MC5, Drummer Rob King and the Miller brothers of Mission of Burma).

**Special thanks to Niagara Detroit, Colonel Galaxy, and Cary Loren for contributing to the story.

Rickie Lee Jones

Hey this is fun! Just got an email from Rickie Lee Jones' PR folks and it took me back in time a little. Haven't heard this tune in forever....



Rickie Lee Jones Teams with Director Ian McCrudden to Document
30th Anniversary of Her Storied Career with Concert Film 'Rickie Lee Jones – Live in Stockholm'(July 5th on DVD / Stockholm California)

US Tour Dates Confirmed Throughout 2011

Rickie Lee Jones, "one of the most intriguing, idiosyncratic vocalists of our time," (USA Today) has teamed with Grammy-nominated director Ian McCrudden for her first concert film, 'Rickie Lee Jones – Live in Stockholm' (July 5th / Stockholm California ). Filmed on March 7, 2010 at the historic 19th century Berns Salonger, 'Live in Stockholm' captures one glittering, sold-out night of the songwriter's storied 30-year career. The concert, shot in its entirety, includes the best of her cannon, from her 1979 self-titled debut to 2009's 'Balm in Gilead,' and features the elegantly orchestrated trio of Rickie, Lionel Cole (percussion) and Joey Maramba (bass). The film is in High-Definition with Dolby Stereo & 5.1 Surround Sound.

"I've been a fan of Rickie's since high school," says McCrudden, who recently directed 'Anita O'Day: The Life of a Jazz Singer.' "Rickie is a cinematic songwriter who creates these imaginative worlds with amazing stories. The venue in Stockholm was a fit for royalty. She's one of the last gilded songwriters."

Rickie Lee Jones is currently working on her next album for the Concord label, and she'll be touring the world throughout 2011.
