\"gig\" This gig is now cancelled!<\/strong> Jello Biafra cancelled the gig and is instead traveling to Israel to see what’s going on in the country before deciding whether or not to play.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

Unless he cancels after seeing the below video, the one and only Jello Biafra of Dead Kennedys fame will be playing a gig in Israel with his current band, The Guantanamo School of Medicine. If you don’t know who he is, I’m not gonna explain it to you. Go and find out. <\/p>\n

The date is July 2nd, the time is 21:30 and the place is the Barby, so you know the sound will be good.
\nTickets are 150-170NIS and you can get them at UFO, Nox, Metalshop, Capzoola, Hummus Abu Dubby and the Third Ear (HaOzen Hashlishit), all of which are in the guide. If you have access to a Hebrew speaker, you can also try Mr Ticket<\/a>. Their support line number is 03-5107070 when dialed from Israel (+97235107070 from abroad) and active 10:00-18:00 Sun-Thurs.<\/p>\n

I know there’s been some debate about this gig, as Jello Biafra is the sort of person the BDSers would expect to support the cause. Here’s a video that makes me want to cancel my appearance in Israel and I’m not even performing or sure that I support the BDS! It’s so bad, I’m not even sure it was<\/em> made by actual Zionists and not BDS supporters. It’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s a really bad joke nowadays in Israel…<\/p>\n
