Record Label
Underground punk record label established in 1979 in San Francisco, California, USA with sublabel/office in London, UK. It was used by the [[artist:Dead Kennedys]] for the self-produced single "California Über Alles". After realizing the potential for an independent label, they released records for other bands as well. Dead Kennedys guitarist [[artist:East Bay Ray]] and vocalist [[artist:Jello Biafra]] formed Alternative Tentacles, but Biafra became the owner in the mid-1980s. Alternative Tentacles no longer owns the rights to Dead Kennedys recordings after a 2000 lawsuit.
