People from the LA area back then may recall KROQ was the "punk" station at the time. I was driving home from closing the bar when they interviewed some guy from 999 and at the end they were giving tix to the 10th caller (or something like that), I called when I walked in the door and won tix to see 999 and the dead kennedys. I knew nothing of either of them.
We get to the S&M Civic, and I have decent seats, with my seat being on the aisle. As soon as the lights went down the music started and everyone stood up. So much for my great seat. So I stand up and step into the aisle so I had an unobstructed view.
After several minutes I am slammed from behind by some guy doing the pogo. Not knowing what was going on I spun around, ready to clock the first person within range. The look on this punkers face as he tried to pogo back up from whence he came was something I remember 25 years later.
eh i think its hard/painful to see bands 20, 25 years after their peak. it just isn't the same. i'd rather listen to them and think how much they rocked versus having my bubble popped with a shitty performance
The Dead Kennedys are playing the Ventura Theater this Saturday, and my assistant's band, Killroy, is one of the opening acts. Porn director Jim Powers is the bassist in the band.

Can't imagine the DK's without Jello. They took a lot of years off, then lawsuits and acrimony and now touring with other singers means they will likely never play together again with Jello. Only Bad Religion keeps on ticking and sounds better than ever!

Awesome! Last time I saw them was in 1985 at an abandoned wax museum in Phoenix. East Bay Ray shreds. Jello wore plastic surgeon gloves and a Shriners' cap.
