Dead Kennedys Lose Another Singer

(punknews.org) Jeff Penalty, the second replacement vocalist for the Dead Kennedys, has parted ways with the band in what he describes as a "not amicable split." Jeff explained the situation: It's likely that, if asked, the band will attribute my departure to scheduling conflicts brought about by my documentary work, but in reality it's a tediously long story involving personality conflicts, creative differences, arguments about splitting money equally, arguments about how the band should be run, arguments about the wisdom of hiring a band manager whose other star client was a Christian folk artist, arguments about whether we should or shouldn't go on MTV, and arguments about many other wretched things. I thought about quitting numerous times over the past year, but I officially did so on Thanksgiving when I found out that the band had been recruiting a new singer behind my back and had even played a secret show with one at a bar in my neighborhood. - more of his statement
