A no-holds-barred memoir of legendary Dead Kennedys and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer D.H. Peligro, Dreadnaught chronicles Peligro from his pre-DK years growing up in a deprived St. Louis ghetto to his years in San Francisco with Jello Biafra, East Bay Ray, and Klaus Flouride—from Los Angeles with the Red Hot Chili Peppers through years of drug and alcohol abuse all over the world amidst a backdrop of some of the most defining periods of late twentieth century cultural, social, and music history.

Industry Reviews

"Peligro would get lots of shit from his black friends for liking White people's music--but White people did not want him in their bands. Punk was a great outlet for him. I first saw him in a lost band, SSI--a drummer with a shit-eating grin who could sing like Little Richard." --Jello Biafra "Peligro's story is one of those that falls into that weird netherworld that falls between funny and terrifying, where the matter-of-factness of the author blunts the jaw-dropping content of his tale." -- Johnny Angel Wendell
