Demolition 23. is a rock band formed in New York in 1993 by Michael Monroe and Sami Yaffa, former members of Hanoi Rocks. They started as a cover act, performing live shows with notable guest appearances. Their debut album, Demolition 23., was released in 1994 under the Music for Nations label, featuring tracks like "Same Shit Different Day" and "Hammersmith Palais". Produced by Little Steven, it included covers of songs by Johnny Thunders, UK Subs, and The Dead Boys. Following member departures, the band disbanded in March 1995. In 2022, Demolition 23. was reissued on Steven Van Zandt's Wicked Cool Records with bonus tracks. The band reunited at the Helsinki Ice Hall with its final lineup, except for Clark, who was replaced by Danzig drummer Karl Rockfist. The group subsequently undertook a short tour of Finland and later announced plans to tour Japan, Europe, and the United States.
