This is pathetic... Dead Kennedys sell out
 

That is, a bunch of the former band members. They won the court case against Jello Biafra and acquired the rights to the name and the music. So, they sold "Holiday in Cambodia" to Levi's for a commercial :mad:

This just pisses me off intensely :ak47:

well jllo has been making all the money from that band since the beginning..those guys never got anything. He totally screwed them over. So now they want to get a little cash for being in that band for 25 fucking years...so what? wouldnt you? read the ful storey about those guys first...jello is a money grubber who fucked those guys from day one..then ran for mayor and all that other garbage.
My last band opened up for them on thier last tour in san diego and those guys were looking pretty broke...but played great of course...nice guys who said that jello got all the cash and they got shit

i was going to come in here with the old 'well everyone has to make money sometime thing' but ....ugh.

I got video of the DK playing here in town my buddies band opend for them here and in AZ... the new singer is from.... fuck I can't remember the band but they rock.... lemme see if I can find a pic.....

I was behind Jello... it's a shame to see this happen.

I wish he'd run for the candidacy of the Green Party again.

When asking one side of a fight about the facts, you're bound to hear just one side of the story.

Your just now figuring out they sold out? Haha, they've been in sony video games.. all sorts of shit..

Their music still rocks.. who gives a shit if they have music on a levis commercial..

Some of us are also interested in the message music is trying to convey.

Brandon Cruz (the new singer) was the kid on that 70's tv show, Courtship of Eddies Father.

I agree, Jello's been taking the money for years. Shit, those guys are in their 40's now, let them make some money for once.
