"Crazy" does not do justice to the idea of a Destroy All Monsters reunion gig.

I had the pleasure of seeing a DAM reunion in '95 at Spaceland, L.A - they were
down to Niagra, Carey Loren, Mike Kelley & Jim Shaw as the core group - there's a
CD called Silver Wedding Anniversary from that era. It was more art damage than
metal.
   I saw I guess it was the 3rd version of DAM a bunch of times way back when -
1st version was basically the '95 band (Shaw, Kelly, Niags & Carey) , 2nd had Ron
Ashton & Dennis Thompson & 3rd had Ron , Mike Davis & the Miller Bros.. Met Niagra
at Schoolkids Records in Ann Arbor while in town for the "Hash Fest". Turns out
they were Ubu fans, so we got 'em booked to play with Ubu at the Pirate's  Cove,
which I think was their 1st gig otside A2. They sat joyously at a table yelling
"Call me a jerk" throughout Ubu's set. Turns out that's what they thought the
words were for Final Solution ("Don't need a cure"). Also had 'em on my radio show
in Clevo (there's pictures that exist), as well as a photo session with Ron &
Crocus done at the Discohome, with pics of that in CLE Mag

best,
