Dead Kennedys are an American hardcore punk band formed in San Francisco, California in 1978.

Since the dissolution of Dead Kennedys, Biafra has continued to collaborate and record with other artists, including Mojo Nixon, Al Jourgensen of Ministry, and the Melvins, and has become a spoken word performer, covering political topics in particular.

Dead Kennedys formed in June 1978 in San Francisco, California, when East Bay Ray ( Raymond Pepperell ) advertised for bandmates in the newspaper The Recycler, after seeing a ska-punk show at Mabuhay Gardens in San Francisco.

Dead Kennedys played numerous shows at local venues afterwards.

San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen wrote in November 1978, " Just when you think tastelessness has reached its nadir, along comes a punk rock group called The Dead Kennedys, which will play at Mabuhay Gardens on Nov. 22, the 15th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's assassination.

On March 25, 1980, Dead Kennedys were invited to perform at the Bay Area Music Awards in San Francisco to major record label artists to give the event some " New Wave credibility ", in the words of the organizers.

Polydor decided to not sign the band after they learned that the Dead Kennedys ' next single was to be titled " Too Drunk to Fuck ".

" and " We've Got a Bigger Problem Now " placed the Dead Kennedys as the spokesmen of social protest, while " Dog Bite ", a cover version of Rawhide and various joke introductions showed a much more whimsical side.

Biafra's appeal was denied ; he had to pay the outstanding royalties and punitive damages, and was forced to hand over the rights to the majority of Dead Kennedys ' back catalogue to the Decay Music partnership.

The jury and judges also noted, in their words, that Biafra “ lacked credibility ” on the songwriting issue and found from evidence presented by both sides that the songwriting credits were due to the entire band, using a clause in the band's written partnership giving a small share of every Dead Kennedys song royalty directly to the band partnership.

Biafra had received sole songwriting credit for most Dead Kennedys songs on all released albums for the last 20 years or so without complaints from the band, though a minority of songs had given credit to certain group members or the entire band as a whole, indicating a system designed to reflect the primary composers rather than a regimented system like the Jagger / Richards partnership ; today, most Kennedys reissues list the songwriters as " Biafra, Dead Kennedys ", indicating Biafra's lyrical contributions — which the band doesn't dispute, or else simply as " Dead Kennedys ").

It was found out that Alternative Tentacles was paying Dead Kennedys less per CD than all the other bands, including Biafra himself, and not informing his other bandmates, which was the fraud.

Biafra accused the band of wanting to license the famous Dead Kennedys song " Holiday in Cambodia " for use in a Levi's jeans commercial, which the band denied.
