Local Anesthesia: Mighty Diamonds Johnny Maguire's crew hits its stride by BOB GULLA

A few things have changed since in the decade and a half since neo-yippie agit-punks the Dead Kennedys were a going concern. For one thing, there are a few more dead Kennedys these days. Some things, though, have stayed the same: the group imploded in the mid '80s over a legal action (their Frankenchrist album drew an obscenity beef), and the band's resurrection has been mired in lawsuits. This time, though, they've been suing one another. Former frontman Jello Biafra lost a court battle over control of the DKs name and back catalogue, and he's threatened to sue over the group's current "reunion" tour, which features former child TV star Brandon Cruz doing his best Jello impersonation. Travesty, however, may prove to be its own worst punishment: the group play the Pond (617-661-8828) in Cambridge on Tuesday and then on Wednesday hit the Station (401-822-5483) in West Warwick, Rhode Island.
