On this day, 47 years ago, Dead Kennedys played their very first live show!

19th of July 2025, 00:00

On July 19, 1978, 47 years ago, the Dead Kennedys made their debut performance at the Mabuhay Gardens in San Francisco, California, a venue known for nurturing punk rock talent. Formed in June of the same year, the band's lineup consisted of Jello Biafra (vocals), East Bay Ray (guitar), Klaus Flouride (bass), and Ted (drums). The Dead Kennedys quickly became known for their provocative and politically charged lyrics, as well as their high-energy performances. Their first concert at the Mabuhay Gardens set the stage for their influence in the punk rock scene, characterized by a raw, fast-paced sound and a rebellious attitude. This initial performance was a pivotal moment, marking the beginning of a career that would see the Dead Kennedys become one of the most significant and controversial punk bands of their time. Their music, often laced with satirical commentary on social and political issues, resonated with a generation disillusioned by mainstream culture. The Mabuhay Gardens show established the Dead Kennedys as a formidable force in the punk movement.

This album isn’t about bashing religion and faith. That would be a pretty cheap trick.
