He's the original member/songwriter in the California punk quartet The Dead Kennedys, he's a former member of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nailbomb, and is the frontman of his own awarding winning band simply known as Peligro. This St. Louis native took a machete to the music world and carved a path so uniquely his own that he's influenced some of today's popular punksters like The Offspring, No Doubt and many others.

Peligro can soon add another title to his list of accomplishments-action movie star. The rocker has been tapped to play the lead in the action movie "The Four Horsemen."
The film is described as having the intrigue of Clear and Present Danger (Harrison Ford), the gritty of Traffic (Michael Douglas), and the fast paced action of Lethal Weapon (Mel Gibson/Danny Glover).

When asked how it feels to have such a great musical impact on so many people all over the world Peligro responds, " It's mind blowing. While touring with the Dead Kennedys I would see kids and adults worldwide singing along to our songs and sporting their Dead Kennedys t-shirts. It shows how much love people have for us after all these years."
