Dead Kennedys are an American punk rock band that formed in San Francisco, California, in 1978. The band was i of the defining punk bands during its initial eight-year run.[i]

Dead Kennedys' lyrics were unremarkably political in nature, satirizing political figures and authority in general, as well as pop civilization and even the punk movement itself. During their initial incarnation between 1978 and 1986, they attracted considerable controversy for their provocative lyrics and artwork. Several stores refused to stock their recordings, provoking debate about censorship in rock music; in the mid-1980s, vocalizer and primary lyricist Jello Biafra became an agile campaigner against the Parents Music Resource Heart. This culminated in an obscenity trial between 1985 and 1986, which resulted in a hung jury.

The group released a total of four studio albums and ane EP before disbanding in 1986. Following the band's dissolution, Biafra connected to collaborate and record with other artists including D.O.A., NoMeansNo and his own bands Lard and the Guantanamo School of Medicine, as well as releasing several spoken discussion performances.

In 2000 (upheld on entreatment in 2003), Biafra lost an acrimonious legal case initiated by his old Dead Kennedys bandmates over songwriting credits and unpaid royalties. In 2001, the ring reformed without Biafra; various singers have since been recruited for song duties. Although Dead Kennedys have connected to perform live over the years, they have not released any new material since the release of their quaternary studio anthology Bedtime for Republic in 1986.

Formation of the ring (1978–1979) [edit]

Dead Kennedys formed in June 1978 in San Francisco, California, when E Bay Ray (Raymond Pepperell) advertised for bandmates in the newspaper The Recycler, after seeing a ska-punk show at Mabuhay Gardens in San Francisco. The original band lineup consisted of East Bay Ray on lead guitar, Klaus Flouride (Geoffrey Lyall) on bass, Jello Biafra (Eric Reed Boucher) on vocals, Ted (Bruce Slesinger) on drums and 6025 (Carlos Cadona) on rhythm guitar. This lineup recorded their first demos. Their offset live show was on July 19, 1978, at Mabuhay Gardens in San Francisco, California. They were the opening act on a pecker that included DV8 and Negative Tendency with The Offs headlining.

Dead Kennedys played numerous shows at local venues afterwards. Due to the provocative name of the band, they sometimes played nether pseudonyms, including "The DK's", "The Sharks", "The Creamsicles" and "The Pinkish Twinkies". San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen wrote in November 1978, "Just when you remember tastelessness has reached its nadir, forth comes a punk stone group called 'The Expressionless Kennedys', which volition play at Mabuhay Gardens on Nov. 22, the 15th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's assassination." Despite mounting protests, the owner of Mabuhay declared, "I can't abolish them At present—in that location's a contract. Non, patently, the kind of contract some people have in heed."[2] Nevertheless, despite popular belief, the name was not meant to insult the Kennedy family, but according to Ray, "the assassinations were in much more than poor taste than our band. Nosotros actually respect the Kennedy family. . . . When JFK was assassinated, when Martin Luther King was assassinated, when RFK was assassinated, the American Dream was assassinated. . . . Our proper name is actually homage to the American Dream."[3]

6025 left the band in March 1979 under somewhat unclear circumstances, generally considered to be musical differences. In June, the band released their first single, "California über alles", on Biafra and Due east Bay Ray's independent characterization, Alternative Tentacles. The ring followed with a poorly attended East Coast tour, being a new and adequately unknown band at the time, without a full album release.

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables (1980–1981) [edit]

In early 1980, they recorded and released the single "Holiday in Cambodia". In June, the band recorded their debut album, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, released in September of that year on the UK label Ruby-red Carmine. The anthology reached number 33 on the Great britain Albums Chart. Since its initial release, information technology has been re-released by several other labels, including IRS, Alternative Tentacles, and Cleopatra. The newest reissue—the special 25th ceremony edition—features the original artwork and a bonus 55-minute DVD documenting the making of the album too as the band'southward early years.[4]

On March 25, 1980, Dead Kennedys were invited to perform at the Bay Area Music Awards in an endeavour to give the event some "new moving ridge brownie", in the words of the organizers. The solar day of the operation was spent practicing the song they were asked to play, the underground hitting "California über alles". The band became the talking indicate of the ceremony when later about xv seconds into the song, Biafra stopped the ring—in a manner reminiscent of Elvis Costello's Saturday Nighttime Live appearance—and said, "Agree it! Nosotros've gotta evidence that nosotros're adults now. We're non a punk stone band, nosotros're a new wave ring." The band, all wearing white shirts with a big, blackness South painted on the front, pulled blackness ties from effectually the backs of their necks to form a dollar sign, so started playing a new song titled "Pull My Strings", a barbed, satirical set on on the ideals of the mainstream music industry, which contained the lyrics, "Is my cock big enough, is my brain small plenty, for you to make me a star?". The song also referenced The Knack'due south song "My Sharona". "Pull My Strings" was never recorded for a studio release, though the performance at the Bay Area Music Awards, which was the merely fourth dimension the song was ever performed, was released on the band's 1987 compilation album Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death.

In January 1981, Ted announced that he wanted to go out to pursue a career in architecture and would help look for a replacement. He played his concluding concert in February 1981. His replacement was D. H. Peligro (Darren Henley). Around the same time, Eastward Bay Ray had tried to pressure the rest of the band to sign to the major record characterization Polydor Records; Biafra stated that he was prepared to exit the group if the residuum of the band wanted to sign to the label,[5] though East Bay Ray asserts that he recommended against signing with Polydor. Polydor decided non to sign the band after they learned that Dead Kennedys' next single was to be entitled "Too Drunkard to Fuck".

When "Also Drunkard to Fuck" came out in May 1981, the song acquired much controversy in the UK as the BBC feared the unmarried would attain the Meridian 30; this would require a mention of the vocal on Tiptop of the Pops. Information technology was never played although it was called "'Likewise Drunk' past the Kennedys" by presenter Tony Blackburn.

In God Nosotros Trust, Inc., Plastic Surgery Disasters and Alternative Tentacles Records (1981–1985) [edit]

After Peligro joined the band, the extended play In God We Trust, Inc. (1981) saw them move toward a more than ambitious hardcore/thrash sound. In addition to the EP's controversial artwork depicting a gold Christ figure on a cross of dollar bills, the lyrics contained Biafra's most biting social and political commentary yet, and songs such as "Moral Majority", "Nazi Punks Fuck Off!" and "We've Got a Bigger Problem Now" placed Expressionless Kennedys equally the spokesmen of social protest, while "Dog Bite", a encompass version of Rawhide and various joke introductions showed a much more than whimsical side. In 1982, they released their second studio album, Plastic Surgery Disasters. The album'south cover features a withered starving African kid's mitt beingness held and dwarfed by a white man's hand, a picture show that had won the World Press Photograph laurels in 1980, taken in Karamoja commune in Uganda by Mike Wells.

The ring's music had evolved considerably in a short time, moving away from hardcore formulae toward a more innovative jazz-informed style, featuring musicianship and dynamics far beyond other bands in the genre (thus effectively removing the music from that genre). Past now the group had become a de facto political force, pitting itself confronting rising elements of American social and political life such equally the religious right, Ronald Reagan and the idle rich. The band connected touring all over the United States, likewise every bit Europe and Australia, and gained a large underground following. While they continued to play live shows during 1983 and 1984, they took a intermission from releasing new records to concentrate on the Alternative Tentacles record label, which would become synonymous with DIY alternative culture. The band continued to write and perform new material during this time, which would announced on their next album (some of these early performances tin be seen in the DMPO's on Broadway video, originally released by Dirk Dirksen and later reissued on Rhino).

Frankenchrist and obscenity trial (1985–1986) [edit]

The release of the album Frankenchrist in 1985 showed the band had grown in musical proficiency and lyrical maturity. While there were however a number of loud/fast songs, much of the music featured an eclectic mix of instruments including trumpets and synthesizers. Around this time Klaus Flouride released the similarly experimental solo EP Cha Cha Cha With Mr. Flouride. Lyrically, the ring connected their trademark social commentary, with songs such as "MTV Get Off The Air" and "Jock-O-Rama (Invasion of the Beef Patrol)" poking fun at mainstream America.

However, the controversy that erupted over H.R. Giger's "Penis Landscape", included equally an insert with the anthology, dwarfed the notoriety of its music. The artwork caused a furor with the newly formed Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC). In Dec 1985 a teenage girl purchased the anthology at the Wherehouse Records store in Los Angeles Canton.[half-dozen] The girl'southward female parent wrote letters of complaint to the California Chaser General and to Los Angeles prosecutors.[half-dozen] In 1986, members of the band, along with other parties involved in the distribution of Frankenchrist, were charged criminally with distribution of harmful matter to minors. The store where the teen really purchased the album was never named in the lawsuit.[6] The criminal charges focused on an illustration by H.R. Giger, titled "Work 219: Landscape XX" (also known as Penis Landscape). Included as a poster with the anthology, Penis Landscape depicts ix copulating penises and vaginas.[seven]

Members of the ring and others in the chain of distribution were charged with violating the California Penal Code[8] on a misdemeanor charge carrying a maximum penalty of upwards to a year in canton jail and a base fine of up to $2,000. Biafra says that during this fourth dimension authorities agents invaded and searched his home. The prosecution tried to present the poster to the jury in isolation for consideration as obscene material, just Judge Susan Isacoff ruled that the affiche must be considered along with the music and lyrics.[9] The charges against three of the original defendants, Ruth Schwartz (possessor of Mordam Records), Steve Boudreau (a distributor involved in supplying Frankenchrist to the Los Angeles Wherehouse store), and Salvatore Alberti (owner of the factory where the record was pressed), were dismissed for lack of evidence.[6]

In Baronial 1987, the instance went to the jury with two remaining defendants: Jello Biafra and Michael Bonanno (former Alternative Tentacles label manager).[6] However, the criminal trial concluded with a hung jury, dissever 7 to 5 in favor of acquittal. Commune Attorneys Michael Guarino and Ira Riener made a motion for a retrial which was denied by Judge Isacoff, Superior Court Judge for the County of Los Angeles.[10] The album, still, was banned from many tape stores nationwide.

After the suspension upward of the band, Jello Biafra brought upwardly the court instance on The Oprah Winfrey Evidence. Biafra was on the show with Tipper Gore as part of a console word on the issues of "controversial music lyrics" and censorship.[11]

Bedtime for Republic and break-up (1986) [edit]

In addition to the obscenity lawsuit, the ring became increasingly disillusioned with the clandestine scene as well. The hardcore scene, which had been a oasis for costless-thinking intellectuals and downtrodden nonconformists, was alluring a more than violent audition that imposed an increasing level of brutality on other concertgoers and began to alienate many of the bands and individuals who had helped pioneer the move in the early on 1980s[ commendation needed ]. In earlier years the band had criticized neo-Nazi skinheads for trying to ruin the punk scene, simply just every bit large a problem was the popularity of increasingly manlike hardcore bands, which brought the group (and their genre) an audience that had piddling to do with the ideas/ethics they stood for[ citation needed ]. In Jan 1986, frustrated and alienated from their ain scene, Dead Kennedys decided to break upwards to pursue other interests and played their concluding concert on February 21. The band continued to piece of work on songs, with Biafra penning songs such equally "Chickenshit Conformist" and "Chaos for Sale", which articulated their feelings about the "dumbing downwardly" of punk rock.

During the summertime they recorded these songs for their final album, Bedtime for Democracy, which was released in November. The artwork, depicting a defaced Statue of Freedom overrun with Nazis, media, opportunists, Klan members, corrupt regime officials, and religious zombies, echoed the thought that neither America itself or the punk scene were safety havens whatsoever more for "your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free". The album contains a number of fast/short songs interspersed with jazz ("D.M.S.O."), spoken word ("A Commercial") and psychedelia ("Cesspools In Eden"). The lyrical focus is more than introspective and earnest ("Where Practise Ya Draw The Line?"), with an anti-war, anti-violence ("Rambozo The Clown") bend, moving abroad from the violent imagery of their early records, while remaining as destructive as e'er ("I Spy", "D.M.S.O."). In Dec, the ring announced their split. Biafra went on to speak about his political behavior on numerous television shows and he released a number of spoken-word albums. Ray, Flouride, and Peligro also went on to solo careers.

Reforming of new band line-upwards (2001-nowadays) [edit]

In 2001, Ray, Peligro, and Flouride reformed the Dead Kennedys, with sometime Dr. Know vocaliser Brandon Cruz replacing Biafra on vocals. The band played under the proper noun "DK Kennedys" for a few concerts, but later on reverted to "Dead Kennedys" permanently. They played across the continental United states, Europe, Asia, S America, and Russian federation. Brandon Cruz left the band in May 2003 and was replaced past Jeff Penalization. The ring has released 2 live albums of archival performances on Manifesto Records: Mutiny on the Bay, compiled from various alive shows including a recording from their last show with Biafra in 1986, and Live at the Deaf Club, a recording of a 1979 performance at the Deaf Club in San Francisco which was greeted with more than enthusiasm.

On October 9, 2007, a best of album titled Milking the Sacred Cow was released. It includes two previously unreleased live versions of "Soup Is Good Food" and "Jock-O-Rama", originally found on Frankenchrist.

Jeff Penalization left the band in March 2008 in what he describes as a "not amicable split."[12] In a statement released, Jeff said that, post-obit a serial of disputes, the band had secretly recruited a new singer and played a gig in his neighbourhood, although he also stated he was "really proud of what nosotros were able to accomplish with Expressionless Kennedys".[12] He was replaced by former Wynona Riders singer Ron "Skip" Greer. D. H. Peligro likewise left the band to "take some personal time off". He was replaced for a tour by Translator drummer Dave Scheff.[13]

On August 21, 2008, the band announced an extended break from touring due to the health-related issues of Flouride and Peligro. They stated their plans to interact on new projects. The ring performed a gig in Santa Rosa, California in June 2009, with Peligro returning to the drum kit.[xiv]

In August 2010, Dead Kennedys appear plans for a short East Coast bout. The lineup assembled for this bout contained Due east Bay Ray, Peligro, Greer, and bassist Greg Reeves replacing Flouride, who was taking "personal fourth dimension off" from the band.[15] [xvi] The tour dates included performances in Philadelphia, New York City, Boston, Washington, D.C., Portland, Maine and Hawaii.[17] The band has played a reworked version of their vocal "MTV Get Off the Air", re-titled "MP3 Get Off the Spider web", with lyrics criticizing music piracy during their October 16, 2010, concert at the Rock and Ringlet Hotel in Washington, D.C.[eighteen]

Dead Kennedys had world tours in 2013 and in 2014, the latter mostly in North American cities. In 2015 and 2016 they toured again, including South America, where they had non played since 2001.

In 2017, E Bay Ray revealed that the band and Jello Biafra had been approached past the Punk-oriented music festival Anarchism Fest well-nigh a potential reunion. While Ray and the rest of the band expressed interest in the concept, Biafra refused.[nineteen]

On April 26, 2019, the group released DK40, a alive compilation album celebrating twoscore years since the band formed.[twenty]

Conflicts between members [edit]

Royalties lawsuit [edit]

In the late 1990s, former ring members discovered problems with the payment of royalties they had received from Alternative Tentacles. East Bay Ray, Klaus Flouride, and D. H. Peligro claimed that Jello Biafra had conspired to pay lower royalty rates. Although both sides agreed that the failure to pay these royalties was an accounting mistake, the other members were upset that Biafra failed to inform them of the fault after he and his co-workers discovered it and additionally claimed he intended to utilise the money confronting them.[21]

A jury plant Biafra and Alternative Tentacles "guilty of malice, oppression and fraud".[22] Malice was defined for the jury every bit "conduct which is intended to cause injury or despicable conduct which is carried with a willful and witting disregard for the rights of others".[23] Biafra's entreatment was denied; he had to pay the outstanding royalties and punitive amercement,[24] and was forced to hand over the rights to the majority of Expressionless Kennedys' back catalogue to the Decay Music partnership. The jury and judges besides noted, in their words, that Biafra "lacked credibility" on the songwriting issue and institute from evidence presented by both sides that the songwriting credits were due to the entire band.[25]

This dispute was hotly contested by all concerned who felt passionately for their cause, and the case caused small-scale waves inside punk circles. Biafra claims that East Bay Ray had long expressed displeasure with Alternative Tentacles and with the amount of money he received from them, thus the original incentive for the discovery of the back payments. It was plant out that Alternative Tentacles was paying Dead Kennedys less per CD than all the other bands, including Biafra himself, and not informing his other bandmates, which was the fraud. Biafra accused the ring of wanting to license the famous Dead Kennedys vocal "Holiday in Cambodia" for utilize in a Levi'due south jeans commercial, which the band denied.[26] Still, an instrumental loop from "Vacation in Cambodia" was part of the 1981 motion-picture show "Neighbors," but wasn't included on the soundtrack.

Biafra'due south former bandmates maintain that they sued because of Jello Biafra's deliberate withholding of coin, though when pressed they take acknowledged that the payment was an accounting mistake, only insist that Biafra was wrong in declining to inform the band direct. Details about this event remain deficient. The band likewise maintains that the Levi's story was completely fictitious and invented past Biafra to ignominy them.[27]

Disputes over new commercial activities [edit]

Matters were stirred up even further when the 3 bandmates invited Jello Biafra to "bury the hatchet" in the grade of a ring reunion. Jello Biafra felt it was unprofessional because no i contacted him straight. In addition, Biafra was disdainful of the reunion, and having long expressed his disdain for nostalgia and stone reunion/oldies tours in particular, argued that the whole affair was motivated by greed.[26]

Several DVDs, re-issues, and live albums have been released since the departure of Biafra most recently on Manifesto Records. According to Biafra, the live albums are "cash-ins" on Expressionless Kennedys' name and his music. Biafra likewise accused the releases of the new live material of having poor audio quality. Furthermore, he has stated he is non receiving any royalties from the sale of any Manifesto Records releases. Consequently, he has discouraged fans from buying any Dead Kennedy reissues. The other band members denied Biafra'south accusations regarding the live releases, and have dedicated the mixes every bit an try of difficult piece of work. Biafra dismissed the new group as "the world's greediest karaoke band." Nevertheless, in 2003, Klaus Flouride said of performances without the ring's former frontman: "There hasn't been a testify yet that people didn't really like."[28]

Biafra further criticized them for ad shows using his own image taken from the original 1980s incarnation of the band, which he labeled every bit faux advert. He attacked the reformed Expressionless Kennedys in a vocal chosen "Those Dumb Punk Kids (Will Buy Anything)", which appears on his second collaboration with sludge metal band the Melvins, Sieg Hi!

Biafra told an audience at a speaking gig in Trenton, New Jersey, that the remaining Dead Kennedys accept licensed their single "Besides Drunkard to Fuck" to exist used in a rape scene in a Robert Rodriguez movie. The reference is to a lounge cover of the song, recorded by the band Nouvelle Vague, played during a scene in the Planet Terror segment of Grindhouse, although no rape takes place, and in fact the would-be rapist is killed by the would-be victim. The scene in Planet Terror has would-be rapist, "Rapist No. 1" (Quentin Tarantino) social club ane-legged stripper "Ruby Darlin" (Rose McGowan) to get up off the floor and dance. At this point Tarantino hits play on a cassette recorder and Nouvelle Vague'south cover of "Too Boozer To Fuck" plays. Biafra, disapproving of the situation, later wrote, "This is their lowest point since Levi's... This goes against everything the Expressionless Kennedys stands for in spades... The terrified adult female afterwards 'wins' past killing Tarantino, but that excuse does non rescue this at all. I wrote every annotation of that song and this is non what it was meant for.... Some people will do annihilation for money. I can't help but think back to how prudish Klaus Flouride was when he objected to H.R. Giger'due south painting on the "Frankenchrist" (sic) affiche, saying he couldn't acquit to bear witness it to his parents. I'd sure love to be a wing on the wall when he tries to explain putting a song in a rape scene for money to his teenage daughter... The bargain was pushed through by a new business manager the other three hired."[29]

The reformed Dead Kennedys followed their court victory by releasing reissues of all Dead Kennedys albums (except Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, to which they did not have the rights until 2005), releasing several new archival concert DVDs, and licensing several songs to The Manchurian Candidate remake and the Tony Hawk Pro Skater video game. East Bay Ray claims he received a fax from Alternative Tentacles purporting Biafra canonical the licensing for the game.[30]

The band claims on their website that they withal pay close attention to an anti-corporate ideology, despite performing on September 5, 2003, at a festival in Turkey that was sponsored by Coca-Cola, noting that they have since pulled out of a show in Los Angeles when they establish that it was being sponsored by Coors. However, Biafra claims the previous licensing deals prove otherwise.[31]

[edit]

The original logo was created by Winston Smith. He subsequently contributed artwork for the covers of In God We Trust, Inc., Plastic Surgery Disasters, Frankenchrist, Bedtime for Democracy, Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death, the back embrace of the "Kill the Poor" single and the Alternative Tentacles logo. When asked about the "DK" logo in an interview, Jello Biafra explained, "...I wanted to brand sure it was something simple and easy to spray-paint so people would graffiti it all over the place, so I showed it to Winston Smith. He played around with information technology, came dorsum with a bunch of designs that had the circumvolve and slightly 3-D looking letters and he had ones with different patterns behind it. I liked the one with bricks, but ultimately I thought simple ruby backside information technology was the boldest and the all-time."[32]

Music and lyrics [edit]

Dead Kennedys have been described as one of the showtime hardcore punk bands.[33] They were noted for the harshness of their lyrics, which generally combined bitter social satire while expressing a staunchly left-wing view of contemporary America.[34] Unlike other leftist punk bands who utilize more direct sloganeering, Dead Kennedys' lyrics were often snide. For example, "Holiday in Cambodia" is a multi-layered satire targeting both yuppies and Kingdom of cambodia's recently deposed Central khmer Rouge authorities.

Dead Kennedys have influenced multiple acts such as Arrangement of a Downwardly, Light-green Day, Faith No More, Rage Against the Machine, Sepultura, Descendents, Bad Religion, Slayer, X, Minutemen, The Hives, Saves the Mean solar day and Screeching Weasel among others.[35]
