Dead Kennedys Announce Gold and Silver Record Certification in UK and US: Ten date Promotional Tour in Support of Certification Announcement
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 20, 2008 -- Seminal punk rock band Dead Kennedys announced today that the Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death album has been certified Gold in both the United States and the United Kingdom. In God We Trust, Inc. has also been certified Gold in the United Kingdom and in addition, Plastic Surgery Disasters, Frankenchrist and Bedtime for Democracy have all been certified Silver in the UK. This is a monumental achievement considering that all of the recordings were released on independent labels.
"It has not been easy, but I'm proud that we did it ourselves, and that we did not compromise the music," stated the band's guitarist East Bay Ray regarding the band's Gold and Silver accomplishments.
A ten-city promotional tour will take place in May and June in support and celebration of the certifications. As previously announced, the lead singing duties have been taken over by Skip from The Wynona Riders. The band also regrets to announce that drummer D.H. Peligro is taking some personal time off, and will not be joining the band for these shows. He will be temporarily replaced by Dave Scheff. Dave is from the San Francisco band Translator, who was responsible for the hit "Everywhere That I'm Not".
Tour dates are as follows: May 22 Rio - Leeds, England May 23 Liquid Room - Edinburgh, Scotland May 24 Newcastle Academy - Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England May 25 Academy 2 - Manchester, England May 27 Academy - Bristol, England May 28 Electric Ballroom - London, England May 29 Academy - Oxford, England June 6 House of Blues - Los Angeles, CA June 7 House Of Blues - San Diego, CA June 8 The Wheelhouse - Hemet, CA
