Punkrock History

One of the greatest punk rock bands of all time, fractured and irreconcilable 🤬 💔

40 years ago today,
The Dead Kennedys played their last concert with Jello Biafra at UC Davis' Freeborn Hall, February 21, 1986

Phranc, Mojo Nixon, and 7 Seconds were the support acts.

I like that one of the openers most likely sang a song about a parakeet wearing a tiny cowboy hat and threw tampons at the crowd.

@historyofpunkrock 8 years later Jello and one of the support acts, Mojo Nixon, made the best country album ever:

Jello Biafra and Mojo Nixon's Prairie Home Invasion

I still love this record!

@historyofpunkrock And the world has been just a little sadder since.

And then Jerry Brown became governor again...

Money makes the world go 'round as true at Alternative Tentacle as anywhere else I'm afraid.
