East Bay Ray

Considered to be one of the most underrated guitarists among the punk scene due to his incredible surf guitar skills and his unique unorthodox guitar sound. Also has created some of the baddest ass riffs of all time with Jello Biafra such as "Let's Lynch The Landlord", "MTV Get Off The Air", "Life Sentence", "Holiday In Cambodia" and "Police Truck".

Has written with the Dead Kennedys "Your Emotions", "Do The Slag", "At My Job" and a few others.

Involved in a big lawsuit from 2000 to 2003 with the other members of the band in reclaiming the rights of the Dead Kennedys catalog from frontman Jello Biafra after Biafra was found to have defrauded the band of royalties. He has been critized by some Dead Kennedys fans for putting out "lost live" albums such as "Mutiny On The Bay."

The "alleged" Levi commercial was turned down by Ray a year before the lawsuit against Alternative Tentacles and Biafra started.

East Bay Ray rocks on the guitar, but The Dead Kennedys WITHOUT Jello isn't the Dead Kennedys.
