New "Dead Kennedys"

Pictured above is the real band. This news article is about the tribute band, who nobody cares about enough to even take a picture of.

In my book, Dead Kennedys have been dead ever since Jello quit. But the other guys from the band seem to disagree. Probably because the bills don’t pay themselves, and using old fame is easier than doing stuff on your own. Anyway, it seems that the band (call it as you wish) recently played two new songs for the first time, called You’re Such A Fake (what a hilarious title coming from them) and Area 51. They also played a reworked version of MTV Get Off The Air, called MP3 Get Off The Web, which is about “people downloading MP3s and how much they suck for doing it.”. And that is what really pissed me off. Why? Because of this:

Not involving myself and whether I agree with downloading mp3’s or not, can this excuse of a band be any further away from what they used to stand for? I don’t think so. Videos after the jump, if you’re one of the very few people who care about Dead Dead Kennedys.
