Dead Kennedys and H.R. pairs two of the most influential acts of the ’80s hardcore-punk scene. The inclusion of H.R on the bill is especially noteworthy, considering the legendary musician has been sidelined with SUNCT Syndrome in recent years. The medical condition causes cycles of intense headaches that have made it near impossible for him to perform.
While it’s been nearly 40 years since singer Jello Biafra exited Dead Kennedys, the band still features original members East Bay Ray (guitar) and Klaus Flouride (bass), who helped co-found the San Francisco punk act in 1978. Singer Ron “Skip” Greer has handled lead vocals since 2008, while Steve Wilson took over on drums following the passing of D.H. Peligro in 2022.
As previously reported, Dead Kennedys will also play the Lucky Punks! festival on March 15th in Silverado, California, with Bad Religion, The Aquabats, Lagwagon, and more.
