Circle Jerks Bio:

Circle Jerks emerged from the punk underbelly of LA’s South Bay in 1979. After serving as a co-founder
and lead vocalist of Black Flag during the recording of its essential Nervous Breakdown EP, Keith
Morris joined forces with former Redd Kross guitarist Greg Hetson to form what would become Circle
Jerks. Unlike much of the unapologetic hardcore that seeped through the cracks of American suburbia,
the music of the Circle Jerks was thoughtfully steadfast, yet relentless and ferocious in nature. Bringing
together a potent, articulate rhythm section with earnest yet oftentimes derisive lyrics and themes, the
band was thereafter heralded as a leader of the pack – and a force to be reckoned with. Plowing forward
with a relentless, tooth-cutting work ethic and a rousing stage presence, the band would soon find itself
headlining shows at LA’s 5,000-capacity Olympic Auditorium and emblazoned in cult video classics
like Decline of Western Civilization, Repo Man, New Wave Theatre, and The Slog Movie. Over the
decades, Circle Jerks would release six studio albums, including the acclaimed Group Sex (1980) Wild
in the Streets (1982), Golden Shower of Hits (1983), Wonderful (1985), and IV (1987), where they
would become a major headliner during the alternative music explosion of the 80’s and 90’s. Morris and
Hetson remain the only consistent members since the band’s creation. Bassist Zander Schloss (The
Weirdos, Joe Strummer) has been a member since the 1980’s. During hiatuses, Morris fronted bands
like OFF! and FLAG, while Hetson played guitar in Bad Religion.
The long list of those influenced by the legacy of the Circle Jerks ranges from Butthole Surfers to Red
Hot Chili Peppers – with notable fans being Dogtown skateboarders, Chuck Berry, Alice Cooper, Elton
John, Johnny Depp, Guns N’ Roses, and Philip K. Dick. Decades later, their music continues to make
an imprint on generations of diverse music fans and those who challenge the status quo.
In celebration of the band’s 40th anniversary and the commemorative reissue of their celebrated
landmark record Group Sex, Circle Jerks return to the stage for the first time in over a decade.
