Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death Dead Kennedys, The SKU: PLATE063LP Barcode: 0803341532502 20.00 £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Audio Platter Released Date: 10th September 2021 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Hounded by political enemies and reaching their personal breaking point, the Kennedys bowed with a retrospective of some of their fiercest, finest moments. If one needs a starting point for the band’s fierce, funny assault on any level of complacency imaginable, Give Me Convenience is indeed as convenient as it gets. Focusing for the most part on non-album cuts or various rarities, it appeals to hardcore Dead Kennedys fans as well as neophytes. The collection includes some of the band’s earliest greats, like the legendary rant “Too Drunk to Fuck,” as withering a depiction of getting trashed and stupid as any. While the definitive “California Über Alles” and “Holiday in Cambodia” make the cut from the first album, there are also plenty of more obscure and unknown goodies. The second half features live tracks like the hilarious “Pull My Strings,” which vivisects typical rock star pomposity (knowingly quoting the Knack’s “My Sharona”) before shifting into an even nuttier chorus. Another screamingly funny number is the improv “Night of the Living Rednecks,” done “while Ray was changing strings” at an Oregon date in 1979. After threatening to play the theme from the Dinah Shore show, the remaining three members light into something resembling a beat’50s hep groove, only with Biafra recalling a tale of idiots encountered during a previous visit to Portland. Meanwhile, there’s a version of “I Fought the Law,” which easily trumps the Clash’s version, helped by a lyric change or two along the way. Messy, nutty, and fun, Convenience is a treat and a half. ~ Ned Raggett Artist Dead Kennedys, The Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Audio Platter Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Police Truck Too Drunk To Fuck California UberAlles The Man With The Dogs Insight Life Sentence A Child And His Lawnmower Holiday In Cambodia Night Of The Living Rednecks I Fought The Law Saturday Night Holocaust Pull My Strings Short Songs Straight A's Kinky Sex (Makes The World Go Around) The Prey Buzzbomb From Pasadena Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Dead Kennedys, The and more from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View Dead Kennedys, The Frankenchrist Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Audio Platter | 1LP Released 10th September 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dead Kennedys, The Frankenchrist £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Audio Platter SKU: PLATE061LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th September 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dead Kennedys, The In God We Trust Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Audio Platter | 1LP Released 10th September 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dead Kennedys, The In God We Trust £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Audio Platter SKU: PLATE060LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th September 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dead Kennedys, The Plastic Surgery Disasters Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Audio Platter | 1LP Released 10th September 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dead Kennedys, The Plastic Surgery Disasters £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Audio Platter SKU: PLATE059LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th September 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dead Kennedys, The Original Singles Collection Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Manifesto | 7", Box Set Released 25th August 2014 £42.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dead Kennedys, The Original Singles Collection £42.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Manifesto SKU: MFOLP42920 Formats: 7", Box Set Released Date: 25th August 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Extradition Order American Prometheus Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Blang | 1LP Released 28th February 2020 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Extradition Order American Prometheus £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Blang SKU: BLANG81LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th February 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Idles TANGK Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Partisan Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 16th February 2024 £22.00 -
