Dead Kennedys (sort of) playing CBGB & Boston | $35 tix
DEAD KENNEDYS | NOVEMBER 2005 (VIA)
The Jello Biafra-less Dead Kennedys are playing CBGB on September 21, 2006. That's nine days before the club closes for good and one day before the The Dead Kennedys play Axis in Boston. It's also ten months after the same lineup played Irving Plaza....
As soon as the set was over, I zipped off to Irving Plaza for the Dead Kennedys gig. I got there about 15 minutes into it, and the slam dancing was in full force. I ran up front right, saw my pal and proceeded to have the best time at a rock show since The Hives last NYC show. I was weaned on slam dancing with fun spirited rockers in the early 80s, and it was an exhilarating trip down memory lane last night. Since I was late, I know I missed some good songs, but I was there to hear DK classics like Too Drunk to Fuck, Chemical Warfare, Bleed for Me, Holiday in Cambodia, Nazi Punks Fuck Off and others. It was like 1981 all over again! All sweaty, all fun, all smiles. [Waved Rumor]
$35 CBGB tickets are on sale.

I don't think so. It seems more like a Ticketweb error or something.

$35 for a fake DK reunion? No wonder Jello hates these fuckers so much.

if it says that there aren't any available, it probably means that they're not on sale yet.

OK, what's worse ...
1) Jello-less DK?
2) Mercury-less Queen?
3) Van Halen since Diamond Dave left?
4) one episode of "Rock Star: INXS"

Are they still using the guy from 'The Courtship of Eddie's Father'?

john, you forgot danzig-less misfits and ocasek-less cars.

Rick Ocasek gave his blessing to his former bandmates to reunite without him, and Todd Rundgren ain't exactly unworthy. While the New Cars may not approach the level of the Cars, they don't belong on John's list.

DKs using the same guy singing pitcured above - Jeff Penalty.

He's not bad, lots of energy, sings the songs well, but he ain't no Jello. No one can wear them shoes...
