Demolition Derby

About Me

Demolition Derby world headquarters are in Lexington Illinois. We have played shows with great bands such as XXX Smut, Bloody and the Transfusions, Arsenick Scum, Mr. Dynamite, Super 88, Mandroid, Sick, Mopar, the Abacinators, Total Rejekts, Hotbox, Wiplot, Zeroshift, Tyson and the Friction, Bent Left, Coldcock Jones and the Shithawks, Kuwahara, Facepuncher, Judy Powder, Apache, Billy Zygote, Two Girls, Sign Sed So, Thrash Zombie, Reelfoot Rift, Bertha Struth, Hemisaurus, Bob Problem and the Automatics, Money Shot, The Electric Shadows and many others, including our all time favorites The Resinators .You can now buy both of our CDs real cheap from North Street Records in Normal, Illinois, located just down the street from the historic Normal Theatre. Buy the CDs, but you really need to see us live or have us come play your ballroom. Things that Demolition Derby likes are A: The Sport of Racing. B: Other stuff. Demolition Derby is the host band of the Lexington IL social event of the summer, Dudestock. Watch this site for details!
