Dead Kennedys totally destroyed Santos Party House at the very last evening of July 2012 with their stripped-down hardcore punk. Well Jello Biafra wasn’t on stage, but their current vocalist Ron “Skip” Greer still did a good job.
Brooklyn hardcore punks Cerebral Ballzy opened. They were pretty cool, however unambiguous reminded of a modern version of Bad Brains.
Frontman Honor Titus’ classic punk “I don’t give a fuck” attitude really annoyed some chicks behind me which kept shouting “We didn’t came to see you!” and “OMG what an asshole!”, however I continued shaking my head to the rhythm and saying cheers to the big punk guys around me, which were by the way from Staten Island.
Cerebral Ballzy showed up around 9 pm which was more than an hour after the announced show time, but it worked perfect for me as I was (as usual) an hour late too!
After them and after a short break it was time for the headliners Dead Kennedys – the band we all without a doubt came to see.
As I already mentioned the legendary Jello wasn’t singing tonight but I was still super excited to see them as I grew up going to high school with “California Uber Alles” and “Holiday in Cambodia” blasting in my ears.
Dead Kennedys‘ first song was “Forward to Death” from their debut “Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables” bringing the audience to an ecstasy. After that we heard “Winnebago Warrior”, “Police Truck” and “Buzzbomb”.
