===Other bands=== In the early 1980s, Biafra collaborated with musicians Christian Lunch and [[Adrian Borland]] (of [[The Sound (band)|The Sound]]) and [[Morgan Fisher]] (of [[Mott the Hoople]]) for the [[electropunk]] musical project [[The Witch Trials]], releasing one self-titled EP in its lifetime. In 1988, Biafra, with [[Al Jourgensen]] and [[Paul Barker]] of the band [[Ministry (band)|Ministry]], and [[Jeff Ward (musician)|Jeff Ward]], formed [[Lard (band)|Lard]]. The band became yet another side project for Ministry, with Biafra providing vocals and lyrics. According to a March 2009 interview with Jourgensen, he and Biafra are working on a new Lard album, which is being recorded in Jourgensen's El Paso studio.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://suicidegirls.com/interviews/Al+Jourgensen%3A+Sex-O+Olympic-O/ |title = Al Jourgensen: Sex-O Olympic-O |publisher = [[SuicideGirls.com]] |date = March 12, 2009 |access-date = March 12, 2009 |archive-date = March 16, 2009 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090316193551/http://suicidegirls.com/interviews/Al%2BJourgensen%3A%2BSex-O%2BOlympic-O/ |url-status = live }}</ref> Jourgensen also claimed in 2021 that Biafra was in the works on a new Lard album. While working on the film ''[[Terminal City Ricochet]]'' in 1989, Biafra did a song for the film's soundtrack with [[D.O.A. (band)|D.O.A.]]. As a result, Biafra worked with D.O.A. on the album ''[[Last Scream of the Missing Neighbors]]''. Biafra also worked with [[Nomeansno]] on the soundtrack, which led to their collaboration on the album ''[[The Sky Is Falling and I Want My Mommy]]'' the following year. Biafra also provided lyrics for the song "Biotech is Godzilla" for Sepultura's 1993 album ''[[Chaos A.D.]]''. In 1999, Biafra and other members of the [[anti-globalization]] movement protested the [[WTO Ministerial Conference of 1999 protest activity|WTO Meeting of 1999]] in [[Seattle, Washington|Seattle]]. Along with other prominent West Coast musicians, he formed the short-lived band [[No WTO Combo]] to help promote the movement's cause. The band was originally scheduled to play during the protest, but the performance was canceled due to riots. The band performed a short set the following night at the Showbox in downtown Seattle (outside the designated area), along with the hip-hop group [[Michael Franti|Spearhead]]. No WTO Combo later released a CD of recordings from the concert, entitled ''[[Live from the Battle in Seattle]]''. As of late 2005, Biafra was performing with the band The Melvins under the name "Jello Biafra and the Melvins", though fans sometimes refer to them as "The Jelvins". Together they have released two albums, and worked on material for a third collaborative release, much of which was premiered live at two concerts at the [[Great American Music Hall]] in San Francisco during an event called Biafra Five-O, commemorating Biafra's 50th birthday, the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Dead Kennedys, and the beginning of legalized same-sex marriage in California. Biafra was also working with a band known as [[Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine]], which included Ralph Spight of [[Victims Family]] on guitar and Billy Gould of [[Faith No More]] on bass. This group debuted during Biafra Five-O.{{citation needed|date=September 2016}} In 2011, Biafra appeared in a singular concert event with an all-star cast of Southern musicians including members from [[Cowboy Mouth]], [[Dash Rip Rock]], Mojo Nixon, and [[Down (band)|Down]] entitled, "Jello Biafra and the New Orleans Raunch & Soul All Stars" who performed an array of classic Soul covers to a packed house at the 12-Bar in New Orleans, Louisiana.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFF59BD316B3ED29A |title = Jello Biafra & the New Orleans Raunch & Soul All Stars |publisher = WisdomStudios.com |date = May 12, 2011 |access-date = May 12, 2011 |archive-date = July 7, 2013 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130707200635/http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFF59BD316B3ED29A |url-status = live }}</ref> He would later reunite with many of the same musicians during the Carnival season 2014 to revisit many of these classics in Siberia, New Orleans. A live album from the 2011 performance, ''[[Walk on Jindal's Splinters]]'', and a companion single, ''Fannie May''/''Just a Little Bit'', were released in 2015.
