Dead Dead Kennedys cds...

One of the worse parts of the job- making excess DKs stock unsellable. (We have more as archival copies, but they will never be sold or available to the public)

Frank Zappa on censorship & the PMRC!

Here's part 1, 2, & 3 of a 1986 interview with Frank Zappa about the PMRC on "School Beat." The relationship between art & action is still being debated- see Jello Biafra's High Priest For Harmful Matter for his experiences with Zappa, the PMRC, and of course the whole Frankenchrist trial.

1st Photos from last night's Jello show!

Yes, these are photos from my phone. Yes, there were people with actual cameras there. We'll upload or link to some of them soon. In the meantime, it was a sizzlin' set from Jello & the boys, with a beer-drenched crowd creatin' chaos & disorder in the always intimate Annie's Social Club. You can see by the photos how intimate!

P.S.- Thanks to everyone who helped sell out the show last night, & to the other awesome bands- Social Unrest, Ribzy, Fix My Head, & The Excuse!

Jello's new band plays SATURDAY!

Jello Biafra is now immersed in creating an all new music album with his new band, the same one that electrified the Biafra 5-0 celebration last year:
Jello Biafra
Billy Gould (Faith No More)
Ralph Spight (ex-Victim's Family, Freak Accident)
John Weiss (ex-Sharkbait, Horsey)
plus additional guitarist Kimo Ball (ex-Freak Accident & Mol Triffid)

[The band's still arguing over the name- it is NOT Jello Biafra And The Dick Army! Jello's current favorite is Gitmo Twinkie.]

The band's playing a last minute hit and run show @ Annie's Social Club in San Francisco this Saturday May 9th!

It's going to be a short-to-medium length set so that Billy's arms don't fall off after stacking this project on top of intensive rehersals for the reformed Faith No More. Speaking of Faith No More, this is probably Billy's last live appearance with Jello's band because FNM is going on tour!

Also on the bill are local punk rock legends Social Unrest & Ribzy, plus newcomers Fix My Head and The Excuse! Don't forget back room Punk Rock & Schlock Karaoke! 21+, $10

SWINE FLU!

Who's ahead of the curve? Jello Biafra, Steelpole Bathtub, & Charles Tolnay/Grong Grong/King Snake Roost- a.k.a. TUMOR CIRCUS!

"Swine Flu" is the b-side of the classic 7-inch "Take Me Back or I'll Drown Our Dog"! It's also on their intense full-length. (It's about the cat that lived with Jello & Winston Smith back in the day)

Here's the MP3 of SWINE FLU!

Ani Kyd sings the (jump) Blues!

Our favorite female snarler from BC has returned to one of her 1st musical loves- the blues! From Jump blues to swing, it's all a part of her new combo, The Ani Kyd Blues! Check out the myspace page for tunes & live shows!

What a contrast with Ani's rough & tumble solo AT cd "Evil Needs Candy Too," huh? No rest for the wicked!
