Destroy All Monsters:
Meet The Creeper / Nov 22nd 1963

1979


Destroy All Monsters were formed in Detroit, Michigan in 1973 by art students Niagara, Jim Shaw, Mike Kelley, and Cary Loren. Conceived as an experimental “Anti-Rock” band. By 1976 Kelley and Shaw had left. In 1977 Ron Asheton formerly of Detroit powerhouse, The Stooges joined along with Michael Davis, ex-bassist for Detroit legends MC5.  Now it was Detroit City Rock. Within a few months Niagara had left her long time boyfriend Loren, for rock star Asheton. Loren left the band. This double A-Side was released in 1979. Singer Niagara got her name as a little girl when her older sister use to lock her in a dark closet and she would cry and cry. So her sister cruelly called her Niagara.
