This just in... the members' REAL names...
East Bay Ray - Ray Peppernell, Klaus Flouride - Geoffrey
Lyall, D.H. Peligro - Darren Henley, Jello Biafra - Eric
Boucher... Now, on to the feature presentation...
It all began when East Bay Ray placed an ad in a music
paper. It was responded to by non other than Jello Biafra
(Eric Boucher), who was seeking a job and wanted to be the
vocalist for the band.
They were soon joined by bassist Klaus Flouride, drummer
Bruce Slesinger, and another guitarist known as 6025. He
left in March of '79 and Slesinger was replaced by D.H.
Peligro in 1981.
The British punk scene had yet to impact America fully,
mainly because of the large size of the country, compared
to the much smaller England. Bands with little money
couldn't tra More...
Review about Dead Kennedys SWEET | Reviewer: Matthew
------ About the song Holiday in Cambodia performed by Dead Kennedys
I just went on a DK shopping spree and this was the first song I downloaded even though I already have the entire album FFFRV and this the next to best song on there next to California Uber Alles!
Great song | Reviewer: Paulo
------ About the song Halloween performed by Dead Kennedys
Few rock bands get made a good mixture between good written lyrics filled of political irony, simple and authentic instrumental, and the same time rock dancing music with underground soul....
Dead Kennedys is the best of punk/hardcore
My fave | Reviewer: val
------ About the song Halloween performed by Dead Kennedys
This has always been one of my favorite Kennedy tunes. Now that I'm older and wiser, I realize that people haven't changed, however, they've been exposed more than ever before. (i.e. politicians in sex scandals, etc.)
Biafra was like my father when I was a kid. I learned more about life from his lyrics and spoken words than any other source known to me.
Refers to Dan White | Reviewer: Evan
------ About the song I Fought the Law (and I Won) performed by Dead Kennedys
"George and Harvey" are the mayor of San Francisco and Harvey Milk, the first openly-gay man elected to major public office in America. Dan White assasinated both of them. He was charged with a lesser crime of man slaughter because his defense had said his mental state was impaired due to eating junk food, which was called "The Twinkie Defense."
Written from the Perspective of a Ex Police Officer Who Got off Easy for a double assassination | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song I Fought the Law (and I Won) performed by Dead Kennedys
The assassinations and their aftermath are chronicled in a reworking of I Fought the Law written from White's perspective by the punk band the Dead Kennedys, released on the compilation album Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death (1987).
AWESOME! | Reviewer: Xarven
------ About the song Holiday in Cambodia performed by Dead Kennedys
This song is one of my favorites, and I am so glad they put it on Guitar Hero III. The only thing I noticed in the song is that on the second chorus you put "A Holiday in Cambodia" and it is "Need a Holiday in Cambodia"

------ About the song Pull My Strings performed by Dead Kennedys
the only song you acually understyand clearly but all there shit is fucking asome
So awesome. Humorous, deprecating and truthful song about Jocks and shit. Simply put, this song's just fucking awesome. Read the lyrics, listen to the song. You'll understand. If you don't, then shit man, go listen to some Slipknot and Mudvayne. By the way, those bands ain't nothing but jocks playing guitars. Nobody's gonna fuckin read this anyways.
These guys may not be as well known as Sex Pistols or Anti-Flag, but these guys are very good. I don't think their lyrics are overall dark, but sometimes rather humorous and sarcastic. Pick up Give Me Coincidence Or Give Me Death.

Look, i am not D.K's biggest fan, neither have i heard all their songs, all i know is that they are 100% punk, sing from the heart and cheer you up when down. If you are fans of Bad Religion, Anti Flag or The Clash then you're sure to like these.
