Music News: East Bay Ray Hit By Car
EBR still plays in Dead Kennedys and has been a member of the iconic band throughout the two stints that they have been active, being the only member to do so (Klaus Flouride was not active for just a little bit during the 2010s).
Ray brought a Surf influence to the sonic tone of the band, with his trademark reverb and twang helping to create the foundation for Jello Biafra’s incendiary vocals.
Our best wishes go out to Ray and hopefully, there are no further complications from this unfortunate incident.
