Geoffrey Lyall (born May 30, 1949), better known as Klaus Flouride, is best known as the bassist, lead and backing vocalist for the San Francisco, punk rock band Dead Kennedys from the group's inception in June 1978 until the band's break-up in December 1986.〔Strong, Martin C. (2003) ''The Great Indie Discography'', Canongate, ISBN 1-84195-335-0, p. 49-50〕 He also produced four solo albums during the 1980s and 1990s. Flouride began working on a solo album following the release of Dead Kennedys' second album, 1982's ''Plastic Surgery Disasters'', coming out with the 12" single "Shortnin' Bread" (with "The Drowning Cowboy" as the B-Side) in 1982 and the EP ''Cha Cha Cha With Mr. Flouride'' in 1985. After the breakup, Flouride returned to his solo career, releasing ''Because I Say So'' in 1988 and ''The Light Is Flickering'' in 1991, the latter album including the song "Dancing with Shauna Grant".〔Valdivia, Victor W. "(''Light Is Flickering'' Review )", Allmusic, retrieved 2011-07-09〕 Flouride also works in the studio as a producer and mixer and has done projects with the Hi-Fives, Ape, and Bad Posture. He and his former band-mates also became embroiled in a protracted lawsuit with former frontman Jello Biafra over reimbursement for band income and band material, which was settled in 2000 in the favor of East Bay Ray, Flouride, and D. H. Peligro.〔http://old.disinfo.com/archive/pages/dossier/id398/pg1/〕 In 2001, Flouride reunited with Ray and Peligro under the Dead Kennedys name, taking on Dr. Know vocalist Brandon Cruz as a replacement for Biafra. Jeff Penalty replaced Cruz in 2003. Flouride wrote one song for the Dead Kennedys, "Dog Bite", which appears on the EP ''In God We Trust, Inc.''. ==Early career== In the late 1960s, Klaus Flouride played in the band Magic Terry & The Universe, which included 1980s rock singer Billy Squier. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Klaus Flouride」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
