Biography

The politically-motivated supergroup No WTO Combo featured Jello Biafra on vocals, Kim Thayil on guitar, Krist Novoselic on bass, and Novoselic's Sweet 75 bandmate Gina Mainwal on drums. Formed to celebrate and support the protesters demonstrating against the World Trade Organization conference held in Seattle, the No WTO Combo gave their only live performance on December 1, 1999; this show was released as the album Live From the Battle in Seattle the following spring on Biafra's Alternative Tentacles label.
