And here's more:

As sent to me from David Kulczyk:

What a great site!!! Thank you for the time and great effort.

I have a bit of info about Destroy All Monsters... I was in a band called Screaming Urge in Columbus Ohio back in '78 and we opened for them twice. Also I had friends in Ann Arbor and hung out there quite a bit. Niagara was famous for being a boring singer in a time when everyone tried to be exciting on stage. She was captivating.

And even more:

As sent to me from Martha Aiken (nee Venaska):

I was a big fan and saw Destroy All Monsters at least 50 times during that era as I lived between Detroit and Ann Arbor while I was attending college.

Niagra was very mesmerizing and intense to say the least. Perhaps [name deleted] is confusing her with another punk rock gal at the time - Caroline Striho of The Cubes. She did a bit of sexual posturing and was also a notable girl punker in Detroit at the time, the best of her material in my opinion, was a song called 'On a Leash', which to this day sticks in my mind as one of my all-time favorite punk tunes.

The DAM onslaught continues...

From Dale Foksa :

I have seen Destroy All Monsters more times than I can count (I think I am even older than you!) and they were either the best band you have ever heard or the worst, it depended on the night. Niagara was alot like Joey Ramone and stayed close to the mike...Niagara still is local (Detroit area) and is a pretty big time artist getting big time $$$ for her paintings.

From Tom in Royal Oak, MI :

Found your page via a search for Destroy All Monsters. They are a difficult band to research, probably because of their relative obscurity even when they were a performing band. I saw Niagra and Ron and Dennis and Larry a number of times, usually on a twin bill with Sonic's Rendezvous or The Mutants or something like that at the Second Chance. They were always incredibly loud and depending on the night - engaging or abrasive. Niagra was always "bored" and was an interesting performer.

I saw a reference to Carolyn Striho in an e-mail posted on your site [see above]. I don't think it's ever been noted that Carolyn got the bug for performing when some friends and I formed a band in Plymouth, MI (Detroit Suburb) called Prong. We had the name before the more famous group. Carolyn was going with our lead guitarist (steve) and we recruited her to tear up a poster of Farrah Fawcet during our performance of I Wanna Be Your Dog at a "gong show" at the Plymouth-Salem High School auditorium in 1977. She began singing Patti Smith covers with Prong before we disbursed and she formed the Cubes.

Glad to see a web site like yours keeping the flame alive.

From Blake Davis:

Thanks for a terrific site!

I also recall seeing Destroy All Monsters when they played at either Brown's or Major Chords in Columbus, Ohio ca. early 1979. (I still have the flyer for the show). I remember going to see them four nights in a row - with an obnoxious friend of mine from New Jersey who kept yelling, "Cut your hair!" to Niagara. The band was quite good, although anything gets tiresome after four nights. I also have the band's autograph, which in a drug induced craze I asked for for some reason - quite uncool thing to do - I think I was star struck by the lead guitarist because he used to play in Iggy and the Stooges.

I had also heard that DAM made it to NYC, in 1980 or so, although I never got a chance to see them [there].

I also have their single, "Bored" and "Your Gonna Die" as well, with the cover drawn by Niagara. Not bad even after all these years.

That's it - thanks again - Blake Davis
