K.G.B. was a short-lived band consisting of singer Johnny Genocide (The Offs, No Alternative), drummer Zippy Pinhead (The Dils, DOA), bassist Jeff Reese (No Alternative) & guitarist Ron Ramos (The Assassins). Johnny also played rhythym guitar for the OFFs. After KGB broke up, he formed No Alternative with Jeff Reese on Bass & a rotating list of drummers (Bobby Barage, Andy Freeman, & Chris Coon).

Always liked these songs from the Deaf Club LP. Never knew who the band was, or that there was a connection to the Offs. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks so much for posting this; a friend had this LP back in the day, and all i had was a shitty cassette copy. Wanted to buy the LP, but impossible to find!

Are there any other tapes of KGB?
ReplyDeletePhil,
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know, these two songs were the only recordings of KGB. They were released as a single I believe in about 1981 (recorded 1980). By then Johnny & crew had changed to No Alternative & were playing 'punkabilly'. You can listen to some No Alternative here.
Enjoy,
