[@65BigNorm]

Thanks for posting. Very pleased I saw this 😮. Was going to pay £30 to see them in May in Bexhill UK, but would rather pay a fiver to see a cover band do it. Call it a day guys and remember the good times 👍🏻

[@hedgehog1965uk]

I'm exactly the same. I drove down from London to see Devin Townsend at the DLWP in Bexhill recently and then found out that the DKs are playing there in May. I was already unsure about seeing them without Jello and now also without DH. I think I might give it a miss. It's a shame, cos I've been a DKs fan since 1980 and never seen them live. I did see Jello with The Guantanamo School of Medicine in London in 2009, and they were great.

@@65BigNorm I used to see Buzzcocks pretty much every year during the 2000s, whenever they played a London gig. I even saw them at a small theater in Bromley and had front row seats (yes, SEATS), which was weird, but it ended well with those seats getting destroyed during the encore. I don't think I wanna see them without Pete Shelley though.

[@derekarmstrong1408]

The fact that he is doing an impersonation of Jello is the most un-punk thing I can think of. Seriously, they should deconstruct the song, change the body language and create something that sounds interesting. The fact that you are noticing the difference is exactly the problem. My opinion is that every band should evolve and reinvent themselves instead of striving for a close approximation of the very person who left the band. Having something ironic like Mark Mothersbaugh giving a Devo twist would be way cooler.

[@elmoblatch9787]

This is, by definition, a travesty. It's a joke, a parody, and a hideous defiling of the legacy. Old fat people who need money are literally playing topical songs from the 1980s. There is no new material. Their young selves would laugh and spit on them. At least Jello has formed different bands and come up with new things to say. Jello is not perfect and he has perhaps taken too much credit for the legacy of the band. However, Jello is 87 percent of the legacy. This new incarnation is the definition of the Dread Pirate Robert. It's the name that counts while the individuals are irrelevant. I hate this more than needles in my eyes. I hate it more than wet socks.

[@Bigyawner]

Jello seems to pretty much saying the same things he's always said when I've heard him speak. Also I've seen him do DK's covers with other old bands. I do agreehis doesn't have the same energy or vibe that Jello gave the band.

They are playing in UK next month (May). Message from the band...... "These are the first shows since the recent passing of drummer DH Peligro. The tour was booked last year and out of respect for all of the fans who have already purchased tickets, the band felt they should honour their commitment and move forward with the dates. The tour will be therefore be entitled ‘DHPower’ as a tribute to the 40+ years that DH shared the stage with his bandmates. Santi Guardiola, long time friend of DH and the band, will be filling in on drums for the tour. Dead Kennedys hope you will all remember DH as the driving force of the Dead Kennedys sound. The band dedicates these shows to him."

[@jackspraker3542]

I love the DKs, but I want my money back!! Truly sad. Recently, I was watching some old DK videos and thinking that Jello Biafra, because of his stage presence and physical performance, could have easily transformed into a Billy Idol type money machine around 1979-83. Either no moneyed backers saw what I saw, or Jello was for real. But by time Frankenchrist came out in 1985, it was too late. And that record was one I had to make myself like, much like Husker Du's Zen Arcade. The slightly more poppy, surfy California punk sound seemed like more of a natural progression in American music than NYC velvet underground style punk sound. But back then I would have been OUTRAGED if the DKs converted to Idol-esque punk pop, which I secretly enjoyed. I don't buy records or have a radio station, so who am I, then or now? All I know is is this is sad.
