Motor City demolition

The Demolition Doll Rods show at Mavericks June 3 wasn't as flagrantly sexual as an earlier gig at The Dominion, but that isn't saying much - their costumes were less revealing by a square inch or so (you can get a lot of coverage out of feathers). Danny took on a greater vocal role than I recall from last time (for reasons explained later). The guitar interplay was as incendiary as I remember.

Margaret gets her kicks in.



Danny in boots.



Christine on drums; she didn't get to do her signature tune, Fat Pussy, because the night was getting on, but she did step up to the microphone.



Despite blowing out her vocals cords ("The only thing I've blown in two or three years," she told the audience), Margaret still pulled out a fairly long set.



Christine steps out from behind the kit.



Sing along with Danny ...



Explosive demolition!



Another sin-sational rock-stravaganza from the 'Rods, who ended the set with their version of Amazing Grace.

• Jack Daniels news: Jake Lovetart - one of the bands that made me think "darn, I should be out photographing stuff" - appears with Four'n'Giv'r at Babylon June 24.
