Diva Destruction is a Los Angeles goth rock band founded by singer/songwriter/producer Debra Fogarty in 1998. Debra grew up playing classical piano from an early age and later trained to do music software production to both write and produce her own songs. The songs combine elements from both goth and industrial, and many songs have become dance club hits, such as "The Broken Ones" and "Enslaved" from the debut album "Passion's Price". Debra has written and released many new singles in the last year, such as "Break Free", and is now doing shows again around the world. Current show lineups now feature: live Vocals - Debra Fogarty (singer/songwriter); live Drums - Jimmy Cleveland (original touring drummer); live Guitar - Danielectics (bands 45 Grave and Guilty Strangers); and live Keyboards - Kevin Kilcoyne. In 2024, the band co-headlined on center stage at the largest goth festival in the world, WGT in Germany.
In early 2025 Diva Destruction annouces their first show in Santiago, Chile being their first show in both Chile and South America playing on September 6th featuring opening acts by the gothic experimental artist Saturnalia999 and the shoegaze band Mowasee.
