DEAD KENNEDYS - NO STAR BELLIED SNEECHES HERE....


Where do I start?
This band is a powerhouse. It was banned from Saturday Night Live and MTV for life. Then they were taken to court over some album art from HR Gieger. There was no where for them to go but down.


But when Jello Biafra and the Dead Kennedys went down.... they went down big with no compromises. With an album of thrash, "Bedtime for Democracy" and an album full of B sides, Give Me Convenience of Give Me Death... including a flexi disc of two more songs the band called it a day.

Legends at the 9:30 Club in DC and playing to packed houses. The Dead Kennedys went down into rock history. Origenally from San Francisco these guys were also banned from major record distribution unless they changed their name. So they created ALternative Tentacles Records.

Some of the video clips are frightful. Kids jump on stage and steal anything they can get their mitts on while stage diving, (including mic stands and high hat cymbols).
