This is a Mid-Price CD

This one's a real treat. On Bored (1978), Destroy All Monsters were Ron Asheton of the Stooges, Mike Davis of MC5, Ben and Lawrence Miller of Sproton Layer, and singer Niagra. Link in comments.



"DAM is sandwiched between friends and seminal punks, Dead Boys and The Ramones for tonight’s set. Niagara is crawling on all fours, writhing and clutching herself… and has the whole audience on its feet. She crawls over to Ron Asheton’s Marshall amp and unplugs it. Ron, furious, plugs it back in and blows the circuit… show’s over. Later that morning, half way across Ohio, the band is stopping at every bar and pool hall. The T-Bird they are driving is filled up with empties. It’s February and Mike Davis insists, “the window stays down.” Tensions… tempers… egos… drugs and booze. Blue flashers appear “out of nowhere.” “Get out of the car,” the state trooper demands. “Can’t,” says George – the driver/road manager. “Get out now,” the cop screams, pistol drawn. All the doors open. The sound of bottles and cans falling seems to go on forever. The cop steps back to collect his thoughts. “I’m due to get off in one hour, this looks like about two hours of paperwork… get off my fucking highway… and don’t ever come back!” Not all DAM stories end this nice, not by a long shot."
