Dead Kennedys

Real Name:
Jello Biafra (vocals), East Bay Ray (guitar), Klaus Flouride (bass) & D.H. Peligro (drums).
Profile:
legendary punk band hailing from San Francisco, fronted by the even more legendary Jello Biafra. They split up in the mid-80s, and there has been animosity between Jello and the rest of the band ever since, with a recent court case awarding all the rights to all the songs to the rest of the band.
