Alternative Tentacles December Pre-Orders! Jello Biafra! Tony Slug Experience
December Pre-Orders! Jello Biafra! Tony Slug Experience
We are finally repressing the anti-austerity blast-a-thon with the teeth, venom, and one-of-a-kind music of Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine on “White People and the Damage Done” available in three new limited editions!
After 30 plus years, Jello Biafra‘s music and lyrics remain in a class of their own! This is his first concept album since “Frankenchrist”! Sick of formula retro-punk too chicken to take chances? This album is for you!
This must have album is coming back in stock with not only the Wide Release version, but we also have limited edition split color whilte/red Artist Edition, and a fixed amount of the limited solid white Record Store edition! Both versions are available while they last, in our online store!
For the true collector, you can also get a copy of the ultra-limited Splatter Edition available only on our Patreon! If you are a member of our Squid and Plague tiers already, you will automatically get a copy.

The sweat-soaked live album from the night Bill Davis (DASH RIP ROCK) and Fred Le Blanc (COWBOY MOUTH) dared JELLO BIAFRA to join them during Jazzfest and sing all classic New Orleans soul, rhythm and blues, and (at Jello’s request) garage songs! Joining in were piano Wildman Pete Wet Dawg Gordon (MOJO NIXON), Pepper Keenan (DOWN, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY) and a wacky horn section from Egg Yolk Jubilee and Morning 40 Federation that even includes a sousaphone!
You want loose? We got loose! You want crazy? That’s here, too. Walk on Jindal’s Splinters is one of the all-time great “you are there” high-energy live albums-audience participation galore, plenty of trademark Jello banter, and full-on soul / trash / frat / garage gumbo from eleven of New Orleans’ finest, just playing their asses off and having a good time doing it.
The album also showcases a whole ‘nother side of JELLO BIAFRA: his deep, pre-punk roots known only to a handful of vinyl junkies and anyone lucky enough to catch his DJ gigs. For all those whose interest in Jello goes beyond the punk persona to JELLO BIAFRA, the singer, this is for you. Maximum trash appeal! Southern roadhouse debauchery at its finest! Calls to mind those sing-along, clap-along frat-rock platters from The Premiers to The Kingsman to Geno Washington’s Hipsters, Flipsters. series, Swingin’ Medallions, or even Slade Alive! You can almost feel the grease and voodoo dripping from the walls!
This legendary live album is coming back in stock with not only the Wide Release version, but we also have limited edition split color yellow/red Artist Edition, and a fixed amount of the limited solid red Record Store edition! Both versions are available while they last, in our online store!
Never fear fellow Tentacles, it’s coming.
We are finalizing which 7″ and it will be announced ASAP!
We are excited to present the all-star album by Dutch rock’n’roll pioneer Tony Slug. As you should know, Tony Slug has been shaking the earth with his riff-driven punk rock since ‘78. He has tirelessly toured with his bands BGK, Loveslug, The Nitwitz, and The Hydromatics.
Throughout these crusades, Tony has built a vast network of friends in every corner of DIY rock’n’roll. As a tribute to his legacy, this international group of friends has contributed to what would unfortunately become his final record; right after all recordings were on tape, Tony died at the age of 60 after a brief battle with cancer.
The end result is an adequate homage to Tony’s legend; an album featuring over 30 players/writers, including Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys), Jennifer Finch (L7), Nicke Andersson (Hellacopters), Jerry A. (Poison Idea), Happy Tom (Turbonegro), and many more!
The album was recorded over the past two years during various sessions in both Europe and the US. The biggest chunk was recorded in Tony’s home town Amsterdam by producer Steven van der Werff. It contains 12 brand new songs that represent the natural evolution of Tony’s rock’n’roll voyage, which covers five decades. The album’s booklet is a biography of Tony Slug, written by the renowned Dutch journalist and writer Philippus Zandstra. The album’s release will coincide with the release of a documentary about the album, the life and legend of Tony Slug, created by Dutch artist and filmmaker Lotte Louise de Jong.
This highly anticipated rock’n’roll testament will be released by Suburban Records and Wap Shoo Wap Records, and it is set to see the light of day in March 2024.

Featuring ARNOCORPS, THE DARTS, DFMK, and welcoming Alternative Tentacles newest member to the AT family MOMS WITH BANGS, the show was an incredible celebration from start to finish! JELLO BIAFRA himself hosted the proceedings and the crowd was stalked by not one, but two Krampus demons who were out to punish the most wicked children of the night! There was even an onstage wedding proposal during ArnoCorps set! (She said yes!)
Rounding out the night was a booth with legendary artist Winston Smith himself, with a booth for his new gallery/art space Studio Fallout as well as the AT booth with exclusive merch for the evening!
A recap will be up on the website soon, and look at our social media for amazing photos and videos from the evening over the coming weeks!
More shows coming soon!
Here’s a early sample of photos by Matthew Kadi from Studio Fallout!
