An excerpt from Jello Biafra's "The Big Ka-Boom"

If you know Jello Biafra as the former frontman for hardcore pioneers the Dead Kennedys and founder of the record label Alternative Tentacles, then you're familiar with his particular brand of angry-activist humor, evident by famous song titles like "Christmas in Cambodia," "California Uber Alles," and "Too Drunk to Fuck." Though 1979 was an especially big year for Biafra —he founded Dead Kennedys and Alternative Tentacles and also launched a somewhat tongue-in-cheek campaign for mayor of San Francisco —his sentiments may be best conveyed through his current passion, spoken-word performance, which is what he'll be delivering at Xtreme Wheels, 7pm on Tuesday (June 20). The current tour blasts corporate culture, the war, voter fraud, and plenty of other worthy targets. This perfomance will be recorded for his upcoming live album In the Grip of Official Treason, due out in the fall.
