From the website www.greenjellosux.com: Green Jellÿ (pronounced "green jello") was formed in 1981 in Kenmore, NY, by founding member Bill Manspeaker. Originally named Green Jellö, the band changed its name due to legal pressure from the owners of the Jell-O trademark, Kraft Foods, who claimed that it was an infringement of their trademark. Throughout the early 80’s, Green Jellÿ performed throughout NY, opening for bands like The Ramones and New York Dolls. Their reputation for over-the-top live performances and foodhurling audiences got them banned from most local venues. GREEN JELLŸ • GREEN JELLŸ • GREEN JELLŸ • GREEN JELLŸ • GREEN JELLŸ • GREEN JELLŸ
