American director and photographer Cary Loren was part of the band Destroy All Monsters
An anti-rock band founded in direct reaction to the pretensions and complacency of 1970s pop music, the Detroit-based noise deconstructionists Destroy All Monsters earned their greatest notoriety at the peak of the punk era, thanks to a lineup that included alumni of the MC5 and the Stooges. Named after a cult-favorite Japanese monster movie, Destroy All Monsters was formed in 1973 by art students Niagara (a former model), Jim Shaw, Mike Kelley, and Cary Loren; influenced by everything from underground comix to film noir to psychedelia, the highly visual group was experimental and abrasive, with Niagara’s Betty Boop-vocals and squealing violin cresting atop waves of trance-like sonic dementia.

For The Destroyed Room on the 5th of March Cary made a special movie that he filmed in the ruins of Detroit and he will participade in a musical performance with some local musicians from Tilburg.
The line up will be:
Cary Loren
Ries Doms – drums (ex Spades, Powervice, Bars, now in Hooghwater)
Frank Kimenai – bass (Anaphylactic Shock)
Michiel Eikenaar – vocals (Anaphylactic Shock, Nihill)
To quote Cary:
“the performance will sound something like ambient free jazz and
doom metal. I am going for hellish Buddhist sounds in a bleak and empty landscape. I don’t know what to listen to maybe death metal + Don Cherry+ Alice Coltrane.”
Sounds promising!
