Music Video Distributors and Decay Music are pleased to announce the home viewing release of Dead Kennedys - The Early Years Live for worldwide distribution on DVD and VHS. ""Corporate rock still sucks!""...a motto that the Punk Generation would certainly agree with. Flashback to the late 70's and early 80's where an American Punk band known as the Dead Kennedys paved the way for a new music generation. Dead Kennedys were one of the most popular and important American hardcore punk bands of the late 70ís/early 80ís. They formed in San Francisco in 1978 when vocalist Jello Biafra answered a music paper advert placed by guitarist East Bay Ray. They were joined by bassist Klaus Flouride, drummer Ted and a second guitarist known to posterity simply as 6025. The latter soon departed, while Ted was replaced in 1981 by D. H. Peligro.This 30 minute program captures the band live from their early years at various venues including the Mabuhay Gardens, the Sproul Plaza at Berkeley, and at Target Studios between 1978 through 1981. Live, DKs were a combination of chaos and theatrics that really rocked out! Much of the material is from the classic & critically acclaimed debut LP, Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables, which certified Gold in Britain.In addition to nine live songs, ìThe Early Years Liveî also includes hilarious news footage from Jello Biafra's notorious Mayoral candidacy in San Francisco (in which he came in fourth!) ìThe Early Years Liveî shows this poignant and controversial band at their very prime.
