Demolition Doll Rods

The Demolition Doll Rods were an American three-piece glam / garage rock band from Detroit, Michigan, United States. The band, known for outré stage attire, released its first record in 1994. The original line up included Dan Kroha as Danny Doll Rod (formerly of The Gories) on guitar, vocals, and harmonies, Margaret Doll Rod on guitar and lead vocals, and songwriting, Christine Doll Rod, also known as 'The Thump'/Thumper/Thumpurr on drums. In March 2006 Christine went on "maternity leave" and was replaced by Tia "Baby T" Dollrod. In 2007, the band decided to go on hiatus, but never rejoined.
Their stage performances have been likened to those of the New York Dolls, and also The Cramps; the band members appearing in drag or in costume, occasionally wearing food items and often almost nothing at all. One memorable performance featured the band performing with only toy cartoon mouse heads covering their breasts, and only plastic wrap and semi-strategically placed slices of Swiss cheese covering their nether regions.
==Links to Peel==
Peel played a track from the band's debut single in 1994 and continued playing their material until the early 00's. He was particularly impressed by their 'Tasty' album in 1997, that he invited the band to do a session for his show during that year, where they performed six tracks.
