1993 to 1994. As punk becomes retro, commercialized, and boring, Jello performs a very punk thing. He teams with Mojo Nixon & the Toadliqours to record an authentic roots and country album titled Prairie Home Invasion. The album contains what could be the first anti-NAFTA song, and a cover of Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney's parody of the "Will the Circle be Unbroken", Will the Fetus be Aborted. This album sparks a ban from Maximum Rock n Roll of Alternative Tentacles for not being punk.

Lard releases its second full-length album Pure Chewing Satisfaction in May 1997. Also in May 1997, Prosecutor Michael Gurino reflects on the Frankenchrist trial as "a comedy of errors" After reading the lyrics of the album they discovered DK was actually socially responsible, anti-drug, and pro-individual.

Jello releases his fifth spoken word album If Evolution is Outlawed, Only Outlaws Will Evolve. With the demise of label affiliate Allied Recordings, AT joins forces with AK Press Audio and releases spoken word from Mumia Abu-Jamal, Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, and Angela Davis. Jello joins the Spitfire touring, which features a rotating panel of speakers and comedian Andy Dick.

In October 1998 begins the infamous Dead Kennedys trial. Former members claim Jello seized and soled off the DK catalog and ruined AT, Jello claims the band wanted to put Holiday in Cambodia in a Levi's commercial. The trial ends all friendlessness between the former band members, and stops all hopes of a reunion. The trial goes on until late 2004, when Jello finally just gives up.

In 1999, Jello teams up with Nirvana's Krist Nobselic, Soundgarden's Kim Thayil, and Sweet 75's Gina Mainweel to form the No WTO Combo that preformed live at the Seattle Free Trade riots. The recording is released in 2000 on AT. Lard also releases another EP, 70s Rock Must Die. AT re-issues recordings from The Dicks, BGK, The Fartz, False Prophets, along with the '82 Bay Area compilation, Not So Quiet on the Western Front.

During 2000 Jello is drafted as presidential candidate by the New York State Green Party. His address is well received at the Greens' national convention. Nader is voted the nominee however. With an all new alt media movement, Jello releases his sixth spoken word album Become the Media.

Jello goes on to release another spoken word album. He tours continuously, giving speeches around the states and even the world. He eventually teamed with post-punk/metal band, The Melvins for an album entitled Never Breathe What You Can't See

In 2005 Jello gets together with The Melvins once more for a second album, Sieg Heil. This is only the second time Jello has released more than one album with a band other than Dead Kennedys, the first time was with his industrial band, Lard.

In an Alternative Tentacles podcast, Jello hinted at a Lard reunion and another album, but nothing has been confirmed.

Recommended Songs:
This section is hard to, because Jello doesn't really have any of his own songs, he is a singer he preforms with other bands. But here's my best try.
Lard - The Power of Lard
Lard - 70s Rock Must Die
Lard - Bozo Skeleton
with DOA - That's Progress
with DOA - Full Metal Jackoff
with NoMeansNo - Jesus was a Terrorist
with NoMeansNo - Chew
with NoMeansNo - Sharks in the Gene Pool
with Mojo Nixon - Love Me, I'm a Liberal
with Mojo Nixon - Will the Fetus Be Aborted?
with Mojo Nixon - Plastic Jesus
with The Melvins - McGruff the Crime Dog
with The Melvins - The Lighter Side of Global Terrorism
