The DK Kennedys' side of the story

For Immediate Release: DEAD KENNEDYS PUZZLED BY BIAFRA'S LATEST LEGAL MANEUVER - SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - March 27, 2002
No one has been served with an actual complaint yet. If the news stories are to be believed, Klaus Flouride, D.H. Peligro, East Bay Ray and Brandon
Cruz, who is singing with Dead Kennedys now, are saddened that Biafra, perhaps misled by his team of attorneys, has fallen victim to making baseless and imaginary legal charges. Dead Kennedys are neither recording at this time nor is there a "Biafra impostor."
In case you weren't sure, this is the DK Kennedys' statement in response to the news that Jello will be suing them. The rest of the statement is below. Never let it be said we don't allow both sides of a story to be heard.

Klaus, D.H. and Ray, as well as Brandon, are concerned about Biafra’s
behavior and denial. Brandon Cruz has a substantial independent career as
the singer of the Oxnard punk band, Dr. Know. He is the real thing; he is
his own man. Brandon’s name has been billed on for the shows, announced in
our press releases and on www.deadkennedys.com since the very first Dead
Kennedys' shows last October. The shows have been met with ecstatic
responses, even convincing the skeptics, as witnessed on
http://www.deadkennedys.com/livereviews.htm. Perhaps this is an attempt by
Biafra to draw attention back onto himself and away from the successful Dead
Kennedys tour.

Biafra was found in San Francisco Superior Court to have defrauded, with
malice, his fellow Dead Kennedys members out of royalties owed. Not happy
with the truth being uncovered in one court, Biafra thinks he can try
another court. Maybe Biafra could spend less money on lawyers and instead
make things right with the band.
