I said it back when Klaus Flouride left the Dead Kennedys. Now with drummer D.H. Peligro leaving as well with health problems, it’s time for DK to hang it up…for now anyway.
Guitarist East Bay Ray will form a new band with the Wynona Riders’ Skip, who was singing for the Kennedys on their last two tours. While the band has not announced a formal breakup the did phrase their recent years in a retrospective light:
“Earlier this year, in May 2008, Dead Kennedys were awarded a Gold Record in both the United States and the United Kingdom for “Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death.” “In God We Trust Inc. EP.” was also certified Gold in the United Kingdom. This is significant achievement because the recordings were all released on independent labels.
In nothing new Punk/Harcore news, Bad Religion’s New Maps Of Hell is another kick ass album from the long time die hards.
All I have to say is this. Agreed.
