Biafra is a founding member and the former lead singer of the punk band Dead Kennedys. In 1978, the band launched with Biafra, East Bay Ray (lead guitarist), Klaus Flouride (bass), Ted (drums), and 6025 (rhythm guitar). According to ABC Audio, the band released four albums before splitting a decade later.
In 2001, the band reunited but tensions remained. Today, the band is still active but without Biafra.
Last month, Biafraslammed his former bandmates for playing a controversial music festival. After several bands pulled out of the Punk in the Park music festival following news of the festival’s organizer donating to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
In a fiery message shared with Stereogum, he said, “They’re taking the money $$$, and THEN pulling out? The real Dead Kennedys would never have let this happen in the first place. One more sordid reason I don’t ever want to play with them again.”
The festival has since been canceled due to the mass exodus.
