from More than a Witness website:


The brilliance of the Dead Kennedys has always been tied to their expertise at
giving their creation three-dimensionality while retaining the vigor of
hardcore punk. They combined truly crushing, high-speed guitars and drums
with sardonic political and social commentary. Even when they reduced their
sound to simplistic hyperactive stuff (“In God We Trust”) they still managed to
sound fresh and thus shred most of the competition doing the same thing.

The perception of the DK’s since their ’86 breakdown has been anything but
ridden with irony. As ardent symbols of anti-establishment ideologies during their
time as a band, they’ve become increasingly more accepted within the mainstream
since their passing. A great deal of this surely stems from the fact that the former
members (excluding Biafra) have seen it fit to give the band a more commercial showcase.

In contrast to this, the appeal of the Dead Kennedys has worn off amongst underground
DIY hardcore aficionado types. Ironically, the band that pioneered American hardcore with
their inimitable style, commendable standards, and uncompromising resistance to the usual
targets have been demoted to the ranks of introductory punk 101 fodder. There may not be
much exclusivity in being a Dead Kennedys fan, but considering their output, it’s quite rewarding.

“A Skateboard Party” was the first Dead Kennedy’s live material that I had ever heard.
Growing up in Western Connecticut, I was fortunate enough to live only a few minutes from
one of the coolest records stores I’ve ever been to, Trash American Style. I remember
recording this LP so I could listen to it on my cheapo Sony Walkman (does anyone even own a Walkman anymore?)
at high school. I loved how the versions included on this illegitimately produced
(more on that later) were much more rapid and convulsive than the studio versions.
Listening to this again right now, it’s effortless to appreciate how much of a live
powerhouse the Dead Kennedy’s were. Darren Peligro’s apeshit drumming on this LP is
altogether riotous and it rarely lets up. Hands down, he’s one of the greatest drummers to have at it.

The story behind “A Skateboard Party” is that Jello Biafra said the guy behind Starving
Missile Records in Germany could press a limited quantity (1000) of the soundboard
recording he got from the gig the band played on 9.13.82 in Stuttgart.
This release was done in cooperation with Alternative Tenticles and the band was subsequently paid.
The original pressing had a black and white live shot of Biafra on the cover.
This record was quickly repressed incessantly (at least 10,000 copies are out there)
without permission by Mülleimer Records in a blue sleeve. This unscrupulous act led
the DK’s to never consider anything like this again.

This recording is one of the best unofficial Dead Kennedys documents out there.
The soundboard recording is nearly unblemished, perhaps lacking a slight bit of treble in the mix.
This is worth downloading simply because Biafra tells a female in the crowd he’ll sign her an
autograph with his dental chart and that they briefly attempt an improvised Heino cover

Some sources claim that this is bootleg LP consists of two shows: Stuttgart 9.13.82 & Munich 9.15.82.
If anyone has clarification on this, please drop me a line at the email listed on this archive.


Some mistakes:

The show in Stuttgart took place on december 15th 1982, the show in Munich took place on december
12th 1982 (i have been at the show in Stuttgart) - so, the date mentioned on the album-cover is wrong.
During the show, Biafra asked the people to come to the city of Hannover for the so called "Chaos Day"
- which took place on december 18th 1982 (the annoncement is not on the record).

To my knowledge, the original album-cover for "skateboard party" is the blue one
- i bought it from "starving missile" right after the release. The white cover is the
"Mülleimer"-pressing which came out later. I have never seen a photo-cover,
but if there is one, that's not the original first pressing.

Nother post:
the information given on the cover that the show in question was played in
"satelite county on 13.09.82" is wrong (it was a willful attempt to mislead people).
the show featured on the record was actually played in germany in munich's sold out
alabamahalle on december 8th, 1982. it was recorded for a live broadcast on the alternative
radioshow "zündfunk" on pub broadcaster br 2, which is why the sound on the bootleg is
so excellent.
