Eight Gigs: Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine
Fri., March 17, 7 p.m., Starlite Lounge, $15-$20
Jello Biafra is living proof that punk still matters. The former Dead Kennedys frontman is just as passionate about activism as he is about performing with his new band the Guantanamo School of Medicine. Its latest album, White People and the Damage Done, covers everything from government corruption, corporate media and the disasters of American foreign policy with a fusion of punk rock, rockabilly and Biafra’s boisterous and energetic vocal delivery. 1517 21st Street, www.facebook.com/jbgsm.
