SUMMARY:DEAD KENNEDYS
DESCRIPTION:The Dead Kennedys merged revolutionary politics with hardcore p
 unk music and\, in the process\, became one of the defining hardcore bands
 . Often\, they were more notable for their politics than their music\, but
  that was part of their impact. The Kennedys were more inspired by British
  punk and the fiery\, revolutionary-implied politics of than the artier te
 ndencies of New York punk rockers. Under the direction of lead vocalist \,
  the Dead Kennedys became the most political and -- to the eyes of many ob
 servers\, including Christians and right-wing politicians -- the most dang
 erous band in hardcore. By the mid-'80s\, the band had become notorious en
 ough to open themselves up to a prosecution for obscenity (concerning a po
 ster inserted into their 1985 Frankenchrist album)\, and the ensuing court
  battle sped the band toward a breakup\, but they left behind a legacy tha
 t influenced countless punk bands that followed.\n\nThe Dead Kennedys form
 ed in 1978 in San Francisco when (vocals\; born ) and bassist responded to
  a magazine ad placed by guitarist . Drummer Ted (born Bruce Slesinger) jo
 ined soon after and the band played locally for the first two years of the
 ir career\, occasionally venturing outside the Bay Area. Within a year\, t
 he band released their first independent single\, "California Über Alles\
 ," an attack on the then-current governor\, Jerry Brown. It was followed s
 hortly afterward by their second single\, "Holiday in Cambodia." In 1979\,
  ran for mayor of San Francisco\; he finished fourth. By this time\, the b
 and had become quite popular in both the American and British underground.
  Finally\, in 1980\, the band released their debut album\, Fresh Fruit for
  Rotting Vegetables\, on IRS Records. After its release\, Ted left the ban
 d\; he was replaced by drummer .\n\nFollowing the release of Fresh Fruit f
 or Rotting Vegetables\, the Dead Kennedys formed their own independent rec
 ord label\, Alternative Tentacles\, in 1981. The first release on the labe
 l was the Kennedys' EP\, In God We Trust. That same year\, the single "Too
  Drunk to Fuck" scraped the bottom of Britain's pop Top 40\, despite being
  banned from airplay. In 1982\, the Kennedys released their second full-le
 ngth album\, Plastic Surgery Disasters. After its release\, the band took 
 a hiatus\, during which bandmembers -- most notably -- performed with vari
 ous side projects. During that time\, Alternative Tentacles began to estab
 lish itself as a major force in the American underground.\n\nThe Dead Kenn
 edys returned in 1985 with Frankenchrist\, which was the record that earne
 d the band its greatest notoriety. Included with the album was a poster of
  the Swiss artist H.R. Giger's Landscape #XX\, a garish illustration of pe
 nises and anuses. A year after the release of the album\, the Kennedys and
  Alternative Tentacles were prosecuted under revised Californian anti-obsc
 enity laws for distributing pornography to minors because of the poster. F
 or the next two years\, the band was embroiled in a bitter legal battle\, 
 during which emerged as one of the most articulate advocates for free spee
 ch and vocal opponents of the PMRC. In the summer of 1987\, the case ended
  with a hung jury and was dismissed.\n\nAlthough the Dead Kennedys emerged
  victorious from the court battle\, they didn't remain a band for much lon
 ger. Just before the prosecution began in 1986\, the band released Bedtime
  for Democracy\, which turned out to be their last official album. After t
 he case was settled\, the Kennedys split\, releasing the posthumous compil
 ation Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death in 1987. embarked on a solo car
 eer\, releasing musical and spoken-word recordings sporadically over the n
 ext couple decades. returned to his fledgling solo career\, releasing two 
 albums in the late '80s and early '90s. The DVD format of Dmpo's On Broadw
 ay\, the Dead Kennedys' June 1984 performance marking the closing of San F
 rancisco's avant-garde theater and nightclub\, was released in May 2000. ~
