Title: Dead Kennedys
Post by: Graeme on 14 February, 2015, 11:12:50 am: I've just heard that the Dead Kennedys are touring the UK this June - and then when I look at their website I find they've been touring pretty much every year. There was me thinking they split in the 1980s. East Bay Ray and Klaus Flouride still in the band, although Jello has moved on.

Waiting for tickets to come on sale. Looking forward to this.

Post by: Graeme on 07 August, 2019, 08:29:50 pm: That was a lot of fun. Cycled to Leeds, collecting VeloViewer explorer tiles along the way, ate a damn fine pie at Brudenell Social Club, met Mr Bunbury and bounced around a lot. Got the bruises to prove I was in the thick of it. Bought a t-shirt I can't think of a single opportunity where it will be appropriate to wear in public. Stayed at a hotel in town and cycled home today - more explorer tiles.

That has been a wonderful way to spend a couple of days.

I hear Thurston Moore is playing Brudenell soon.

Miss von Brandenburg went to a gig a couple of months ago feat. Thurston Moore, John Paul Jones and $DRUMMER. I think she described it as "challenging".
