Destroy All Monsters Screening

Free Screening: Grow Live Monsters

Please join Fillip and Motto Books Saturday, February 25th, for a screening of a selection of music films by the Detroit-based art collective Destroy All Monsters.

Formed in 1973 by University of Michigan art students Mike Kelley, Jim Shaw, Niagara, and filmmaker Cary Loren, DAM’s activities included an experimental/punk band, a self-titled zine, and various film and video works.

“Influenced by the underground films of Jack Smith and George Kuchar, the movies created by Destroy All Monsters blended kitsch images, clips from old horror and sci-fi pictures, deliberate over-acting and bursts of off-beat animation into a bracing collage of pop culture detritus, while the artists’ neo-psychedelic noise rock droned away in the background.” — Mark Deming

With thanks to Cary Loren.
