  Joe "Shithead" Kiethley
Joey is best known as leader of Canada’s most influential punk band D.O.A. and as the Canadian godfather of punk.
In “I Shithead ”Joey regales you with his account of spreading counterculture around the world, while fronting D.O.A. It is a volcanic and entertaining read, as you get all the goods on their activism and the rough road they travelled.
Joey is also a spoken word artist; his style is somewhat akin to the performances of his pals Jello Biafra and Henry Rollins, but there is an extra dimension to it.

 Joey Shithead Keithley - Interview @ Score! Music Magazine
All of Joey’s output is quite timely, as Canada’s (and quite possibly the world’s) finest punk act are celebrating their 25th anniversary, a feat not easily achieved.
Joey: Well, I kinda go with, like the way I kinda analyze that if I look at one of my favorite guys is Iggy Pop and he's done lots of great songs and lots of great material, but really the three best records in my opinion were the three with The Stooges.
Joey: Oh, yes, I ran for the Green Party three times out here: once for city council in '98 and then in '96 and the year 2000 for the provincial legislature, which is the equivalent of being like a state Congressperson - it's the same level.

Joey Shithead, their only original member, has been tirelessly touring the globe with the band, spreading the punk rock ethic far and wide.
Joey: The real obvious thing that I always tell people is that not all but a lot of people that we play for over there are a lot more politically aware than Americans are.
Joey: Yeah it stinks, but that’s the way I make my living, or attempt to…so where I like to be is someplace I haven’t played before.

I, Shithead is Joe's recollections of a life in punk, starting with a bunch of kids in Burnaby transfixed with the burgeoning punk movement, and traversing a generation disillusioned with the status quo: stories of riots, drinking, travelling, playing, and conquering all manner of obstacles through sheer determination.
DOA is [Joey's] life's work and since that has never faltered - save for a few insane bandmates, dead vans, snowstorms and grifting Eastern Block border guards - Keithley has never faltered either.

JOEY: I think he was one of the greatest singers ever, and oh what a list of prescriptions courtesy of Dr. Nick.
JOEY: The one label I really liked was Alternative Tentacles, but just from talking with Fat Mike [Fat Wrechords] and Jello [Biafra from Alternative Tentacles], if you have your own label you can put out what you want, when you want.
JOEY: The first 25% is based on D.O.A. It's not a bad book, or a movie, but it dwelled too much on the nihilistic side, never dealing with the impact of punk rock from the west coast.

But punk is more than a style of music: it's a political act, and D.O.A. have always had a social conscience, having performed in support of Greenpeace, women's rape/crisis centres, prisoner rights, and anti-nuke and anti-globalization organizations.
Twenty-five years later D.O.A. can claim sales of more than 500000 copies of their eleven albums and tours in thirty different countries, and they are still going strong.

JOEY: That seems pretty strange to me. I mean, what if you got an Enron tattoo, you’d be, "Oh man, can I change that?" Let’s just say some people just aren’t that goddamn smart, as the current situation in Iraq shows.
JOEY: I guess if they got pulled into some weird cult, they would hopefully see their way out, though all kinds of people get sucked into religion.
