Grow Live Monsters is a selection from short home-made no-budget 8mm, super 8 and 16mm film fantasies made between 1971-1976.

Most of the films revolved around a group of friends and the wall of noise they would create in basement cellars and in live performance.

This was Destroy All Monsters, one of the most avant-garde "bands" of all time. Featuring artists Niagra, Jim Shaw, Cary Loren and Mike Kelley, Destroy All Monsters is like nothing else.

Ever. Psychedelic meets noise meets high and low brow art in a Midwestern blender. Say goodbye to your retinas.

The DVD also includes a montage of late-night TV adverts, techno club dancers, and Z grade monster clips and also some outtakes, concert footage, performance footage from Seattle, 2000 and band photos and production stills.

There is a 6-pages booklet with an interview with Cary Loren inside. Total running time is approx.

145 minutes. The soundtrack is a mixture of vintage DAM with rearranged vinyl samples and recordings.

The sound is presented in 5.1 Dolby Digital format. The disc is region free. Cover painting: Detail from Destroy All Monsters Collective (Mike Kelley, Jim Shaw, Cary Loren) "Mall Culture" 2000, Acrylic on canvas.
