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.

However, earlier in their career, Biafra, along with the other band members, approved the use of Dead Kennedys ' songs in the major film corporation releases Neighbors, 1981 and Class, 1983, and fairly recently, Biafra himself approved the license to Tony Hawk's video game ( May 5, 1999 Fax from Uli Elser, previous manager of Alternative Tentacles ).

Unlike other leftist punk bands who use more direct sloganeering, Dead Kennedys ' lyrics were often snide.

The sincerity of many of these bands has been questioned-many saw the use of anarchism in early punk as a joke or fashion statement more than an ideology ( indeed, some lefist critics of punk saw it as " just another rock ' n ' roll pose ")-but over time bands such as Crass in the UK and Dead Kennedys in America emerged who held strong anarchist views, and over time this association strengthened.

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 ").

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

Dead Kennedys released five studio albums before disbanding in 1986.

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.

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 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.

According to Biafra, the live albums are " cash-ins " on Dead Kennedys ' name and his music.

Biafra told an audience at a speaking gig in Trenton, New Jersey, that the remaining Dead Kennedys have licensed their single " Too Drunk to Fuck " to be used in a rape scene in a Robert Rodriguez movie.

Jello, clearly disapproving of the situation, later wrote, " This is their lowest point since Levi's … This goes against everything the Dead Kennedys stands for in spades … The terrified woman later ' wins ' by killing Tarantino, but that excuse does not rescue this at all.

The reformed Dead Kennedys followed their court victory by announcing a number of tour dates, releasing reissues of all Dead Kennedys albums ( except Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, to which they did not have the rights until 2005 ), releasing several new archival concert DVDs, and licensing several songs to The Manchurian Candidate remake and the Tony Hawk Pro Skater video game.

Some have found difficulty reconciling this claim when Biafra also licensed to major corporations, approving with the other band members use of Dead Kennedys ’ songs in major studio film releases such as Neighbors, Freddy Got Fingered, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

The band played under name " DK Kennedys " for a few concerts, but later reverted to " Dead Kennedys " permanently.

In August 2010 the Dead Kennedys announced plans for a short East Coast tour.

The Dead Kennedys performed what appears to be their first new song in 24 years, " You're Such a Fake ", during their October 16, 2010, concert at the Rock and Roll Hotel in Washington, D. C.
