Loved the Dead Kennedys! My first band (punk band) back in 78-79 did many DK tunes.
DEAD KENNEDYS were one of the most popular and important American hardcore punk bands of the late '70s/early '80s. They formed in San Francisco in 1978 when EAST BAY RAY placed an ad in a music paper that vocalist JELLO BIAFRA responded to. They were soon joined by bassist KLAUS FLOURIDE, drummer TED and a second guitarist known to posterity simply as 6025. The latter departed in March 1979, while Ted was replaced at the very end of 1980 by D.H. PELIGRO.

I love the Dead Kennedys. My buddy's band toured with them...or at least the current version of them a few years ago. He was also drum teching for DH Peligro on that tour, as DH was using my friends DW drums for the tour.
Well I went to see them in Philly and my buddy was tweaking the set up for DH. He discovered a little issue with the bass drum pedal and I fixed it. So I got to fix DH Peligro's drum pedal. That's pretty cool to me.
My skater friends and I always had DK on rotation. The DK logo was also always a part of our sub culture. Spray painting it on ramps and what not.
I like the old Dead Kennedys with Jello Biafra. I've never heard their new singer. Anyway i never got to see them perform with Biafra since I wasn't born then. I think its pretty neat that a kid in this day in age likes to listen to stuff like the Dead Kennedys, the clash, Metaliica, slayer, and Johnny cash. Is it wrong to like older music?
