Posted at March 27, 2016, 10:25 pm: 10.06.05 - DEAD KENNEDYS PULL OUT OF “WAKING THE DEAD” SHOW AT OLYMPIC AUDITORIUM IN LOS ANGELES ON OCTOBER 29TH Coors Beer Sponsorship of Event Reeks of Bad Politics and Corporate Greed Dead Kennedys announced today that they have pulled out of the “Waking The Dead” show at the Grand Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles on October 29, 2005. The event will go ahead as scheduled without the Dead Kennedys but will include Suicidal Tendencies, the Germs, Flipper, and Marky Ramone as previously announced. Dead Kennedys have decided to pull out of the show for political reasons as the band was not informed that there would be corporate sponsors when they agreed to play the show and were specifically unaware that Coors would be a major sponsor until advertisements for the show appeared in LA Weekly. Dead Kennedys immediately contacted the organizers of the event to object to and discuss the removal of Coors' sponsorship, but a suitable arrangement could not be made. A Google search of Coors will turn up information on a company that for years has funded right-wing groups such as the Nicaraguan Contras, the anti-gay Moral Majority, and the notoriously anti-punk Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC). Coors has also broken numerous unions, is anti-environment, and has funded lawsuits against affirmative action. More disturbing facts about the company can be found at www.corporations.org/coors. “Dead Kennedys have always been wary of corporate sponsorship and steer clear of lending our name to promote a product,“ said Dead Kennedys guitarist and founding member East Bay Ray. “Because we were not alerted to the ultra conservative, right-wing sponsor for this event, we could not see a reason to go ahead and perform at this show in good conscience. Dead Kennedys want nothing to do with this event or Coors and I am disgusted that they are now sponsoring punk shows, something they are politically at odds with.” Dead Kennedys apologize to their fans, but hope to serve as an example to the punk rock community that certain ideals shouldn't be sacrificed. The band looks forward to playing an L.A. date in the near future to celebrate the 25th anniversary re-release of "Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables" and encourages you to think before you drink….Coors. First off, I don't care about if this should be the DK official thread because I uh....had a bad experience with them as a kid. Now, this doesn't make sense to me either because I saw the Dead kennedys this past summer at a huge festival including comeback kid, rise against, goldfinger etc. At this event there were corporate ads EVERYWHERE (Hi, can like us girls in bikinis like shoot you with a watergun so you can get some like free samples of juicy fruit?) They even played 'MTV get off the air' on a stage that had a big 'Muchmusic' sign (the MTV2 of Canada) Also one of the main sponsors WAS Coors. I find this amusing.
