MUSICIAN & ZINE ARTIST
EAST BAY RAY
Dead Kennedys Founding Surf-Noir Punk Lead Guitarist • San Francisco / Oakland, CA • Since 1978
Founding guitarist and sonic architect of Dead Kennedys. Blending Link Wray surf twang, spy-movie minor chords, rockabilly slapback echo, and blistering hardcore speed, East Bay Ray created one of the most instantly recognizable guitar tones in punk history.
“Everyone else was trying to copy the Ramones' wall of distortion. I wanted clarity, menace, and an Echoplex set to stun.”
