Do they still have Jello Biafra as the singer, just curious.

Edit: Scratch that just looked them up, wouldn't be interested if Biafra isn't part of the band but I would definitely check out a Biafra gig alright.

I didn't realise Biafra wasn't part of the band anymore.

Yeah, he left in 1986. The rest of the band is still there, so it's not quite one of those "band name is original, none of the members are" -type of outfits.

Can't say I've heard them without Jello, though..

Would love to have seen them back in the early 1980s

This 1984 gig has some energy. Nazi Punks at 50:00. Check out the stage divers

Is that the one with the nutter vaulting over Biafra mid-performance. mad **** altogether.

I experienced a few of these mad gigs in a small night club venue in Glasgow that was like five floors up in a place called Night Moves (There's a tiny bit on the net about this club in Sauchiehall Street) about 1982 or 1983. Never saw the Dead Kennedys though but saw Nick Cave's Birthday Party with possibly the Cocteau Twins supporting, Twisted Nerve and DOA amongst others, crazy phucking gigs with crazy phucking audiences much like you see on that Dead Kennedys footage.

Interesting Facebook page dedicated to the night club.

Sisters of Mercy 1984 Night Moves.

Didn't they get offered money by some millionaire to reunite or something? A year maybe two before lockdown?

Thanks for this, I was in a shite mood this morning, after watching this the world seems alright again. What Id give to be a 20 year old in that crowd.

I think I'll pass on the gigs though, don't think I'd enjoy it without jello

Night Moves sounds legendary. I have an older cousin who went to college in Edinburgh and saw a few gigs there.

DK's without Jello is like the Stones without Jagger or the Sex Pistols without Lydon

No thanks

Hopefully he's back over here with the GSOM at some stage

D.H. Peligro has passed away. Gig will surely be in jeopardy. Won’t be the same without him too.
