Dead Kennedys Rule! 

I saw them live, and it changed everything.

A good friend was way into punk and alternative music. He introduced me to a lot of stuff.

We both were home for the summer from college and had day jobs. By night, we'd go explore the Houston music scene.

The Dead Kennedys were playing a venue near downtown.

We got in line, and it was culture shock for me, seeing all the punks, with piercings, fish heads, etc. I was scared at first but started to get into the vibe.

Houston police back then had a terrible reputation.

A Houston police car passed by, and dozens of beer cans and bottles went flying from the line and hit the car. I thought I was going to wind up in jail, but the cop car hit its sirens once and just kept going.

I was blown away that people could get away with such a thing. I was never the same after that in regard to authority. I was punk rock.

The lineup was Really Red, a Houston punk band, a young Butth0le Surfers and Dead Kennedys.

The Butts made a huge impression. 

But the DKs, oh my. They weren't mosh pits back then. They were SLAM pits, and people were getting bloodied in there. People were climbing the speaker stacks and just launching themselves into the pit.

Jello Biafra had a broken foot or something and was ranting around on stage on crutches, which just made it even crazier.

I was never the same after that.

My favorite punk band by far. Didn’t release much but those first two albums are stellar.

Mine was Big Boys, with Fear a close second.

I love Blink but that's definitely not some of their best work. 

Not bad considering they’re in their 50s

I lived in Austin in summer 1984 and hung out with some of them and the Big Boys.

Little did I know how awesome that time was in Austin music. 

The Butts were one of the best live bands ever.

I dont mind them and don't understand the hate honestly

 

I think it is due to both keep putting out top 40 hits after hit and called to mainstream. Yea I like most of both.

Dookie was awesome 

My son was a huge fan so we saw them live many times. Good shows. Fun times. 
 

Had the opportunity to meet / hang out with them last week and they are super cool guys.

Honestly didn’t notice or think about it. They were all very cool and not like “celebrities”
