The Cryptic Band Name Game

Janis Joplin

Clue: Delicious dessert+severely impoverished African country in the early 1970s.

Stumped.  I'm probably the youngest regular on these threads at the tender age of 43, so the early 70's were all about pacifiers and Sesame Street to me.

The dessert comes in powdered form, then dissolved in very hot water, chilled and allowed to set. The country was a secessionist state by Nigeria. The artist is the lead singer of a band, I used him because I thought he hads a solo career.

I should've gotten that one, an ex ofmine was a huge fan of The Dead Kennedys.  And yes, he does have a solo career, and he also ran for president.

Packerz, I'll be rooting for the Packers tonight because I've got Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson on one of my fantasy teams.
I've got Greg Jennings on another team but it's doubful that he'll play tonight. 

I'll put Packerz clue back in play, because I have no clue yet:

FLEETWOOD MAC  

Clue:  Uncomplicatedly crimson

Simply Red

Clue: This artist's first and last name are oxymorons. No, its not Biggie Smalls, but the genre is similar.

Hey Purp, didn't know you played FF. I got ruined by the Packers last year. I was gunning for a third straight championship. I was under the impression the Packers were going to sit their regulars in the last game of the year against Detroit. So for our Super Bowl, I sat Ryan Grant and Jordy Nelson. Need I say more.

I have Jennings on my team, but I picked up Ashton Jeffrey to take his spot.   

Fatboy Slim?

 

if so, next clue:

early model vehicle that could be described as a predecessor to the pickup truck
(big hint - the vehicle's name includes the initials of the company founder)
