DEAD KENNEDYS: 'Fresh Fruit' Reissue To Include Bonus DVD Documentary - Sep. 16, 2005
Billboard.com is reporting that the DEAD KENNEDYS' 1980 punk rock classic "Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables" will be reissued Oct. 25 in a 25th anniversary edition by Manifesto Records with a bonus DVD documentary. A new single-disc version of the band's debut album without the DVD will also be released on the same day.
The DVD will include what the label claims is the earliest known live footage of DEAD KENNEDYS performing, as well as new interviews with East Bay Ray and bassist Klaus Flouride (who continue to tour with a version of the band), and others, including Chi Chi, the band's first manager and "Fresh Fruit" engineer Oliver DiCicco. According to a statement, estranged lead singer Jello Biafra "was asked to participate and chose not to."
izvor SNFU Break-Up
Posted on Sun September 18th by Carsten
SNFU, one of Canada's longest running punk acts, is calling it quits. Founding guitarist Marc "Muc" Belke posted the following to the band's official website: I would love to thank all the people that have come to see Snfu play in the last year. We had a great time & managed to tour Canada a couple of times to support our 9th album, "In The Meantime & In Between Time". I'm truly sorry we didn't manage to get to play any other territories as we had originally planned.
It is with mixed emotions that I announce my departure from from Snfu, as it has been the biggest part of my life for almost 20 years. It's my feeling that Snfu has done everything that we had set out to do. Being in Snfu has enabled me to see the planet and meet so many incredible people that won't even start to list them. I look forward to working with the Vancouver trio "Married To Music". I am releasing their new album, "Sweet Kicking & Screaming" on my Rake Records label this October. Last week I became a student again for the first time in many many years. I was accepted at BCIT to participate in their radio broadcasting program. I am also looking forward to being inspired again to create some more music and work with new musicians. It's been a pleasure working with Matt (bass) & Shane (drums). Their involvement made the decision to leave more difficult as they helped create one of the finest versions of Snfu ever. Matt will continue to work with Jakalope and plans on finishing an album with one of his previous projects Ocean 3. Shane was also in Ocean 3. Shane will fill in on drums for the Real Mackenzies when they tour Canada this fall and is interested in offering his services to other bands. There is also talk of Slaveco starting again.
It feels like I've been doing Snfu forever and I'm sure that I'll have no regrets. Thanks again to everyone who has come to see us play, bought our cd's and wrote in to our web site. You were my inspiration the last couple years to get that last album out. It was for you.
