Those silly Dead Kennedys, you don't really want to mess with them, especially Jello. I can tell you first hand that that really is nothing more powerful than an old school punk with a high IQ. Its like ninja fighting. You'd think they're just dumbass rockers but then whoomp, they're slappin a lawsuit on your ass.
Seems that Heineken dipped a bit of "Too Drunk" without permission for its Spotify ad campaign, tsk tsk…
Official Statement:
"Dead Kennedys emphatically deny that they ever gave Heineken permission to use the song. The band's attorneys have contacted Heineken to address the un-authorized use." "D
Dead Kennedys have never authorized any company to use this song or any of the band's songs to promote a consumer product (let alone the consumption of alcohol) in this or any advertisement."
I'm just surprised the band has an attorney. Its been decades since I've seen these guys and honestly I haven't heard much from them until now. I suppose that being in cahoots with a major beer importer isn't 'punk rock'. I say great opportunity for some publicity.
