JELLO BIAFRA Joins CAVALERA On Stage For DEAD KENNEDYS’ “Nazi Punks F*ck Off”

Ex-Dead Kennedys vocalist Jello Biafra joined the Cavalera brothers on stage for a cover of the classic track “Nazi Punks Fuck Off”. Which is not only timely given everything that’s going on in the United States, but especially fitting given the new Trump-centric lyrics.

Footage was filmed during Cavalera‘s March 3 set at the Marquis Theater in Denver, CO. Biafra also gave the following speech beforehand, as transcribed by The PRP.

“We’ve been family for a long fucking time man. I first saw [Sepultura] in Denver with Ministry and Helmet. That show, in what should have still been called Mammoth Gardens. Now Live Nation has its claws into this place too. I haven’t been here since they got this place; the Elon Musk of concerts company. A lot of you know this song.

“It was originally just written about people being really fucking violent in the pit and acting like a bunch of Nazis. Then, when it got to places that had real dictators and real fascists, like Brazil, and Eastern Europe, it became more, it became kind of a revolutionary cry. So no mothballing the song, especially because, for the first time ever, we are staring at real, live fascist dictatorships with red, white and blue brown shirts all over this country.

“It’s gonna take ’em awhile to get to me, but I’m enough on the shit list for what I’ve said about dirty Donnie Trump… and whatnot, you never know. So now, this song has a slightly different name I think we can all relate to. Nazi Trumps, Fuck Off!”

The Cavalera brothers are on the road playing their Third World Trilogy – those being Sepultura‘s Bestial Devastation from 1985, Morbid Visions from 1986, and Schizophrenia from 1987 – alongside openers Necrot and Dead Heat. Tickets are available here.
