After serving as a co-founder  and lead vocalist of Black Fla g during the recording of its essential Nervous Breakdown EP\, Keith  Mor ris joined forces with former Redd Kross guitarist Greg Hetson to form wha t would become Circle  Jerks. Unlike much of the unapologetic hardcore th at seeped through the cracks of American suburbia\,  the music of the Cir cle Jerks was thoughtfully steadfast\, yet relentless and ferocious in nat ure. Bringing  together a potent\, articulate rhythm section with earnest yet oftentimes derisive lyrics and themes\, the  band was thereafter her alded as a leader of the pack - and a force to be reckoned with. Plowing f orward  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  l ike Decline of Western Civilization\, Repo Man\, New Wave Theatre\, and Th e Slog Movie. Over the  decades\, Circle Jerks would release six studio a lbums\, including the acclaimed Group Sex (1980) Wild  in the Streets (19 82)\, Golden Shower of Hits (1983)\, Wonderful (1985)\, and IV (1987)\, wh ere they  would become a major headliner during the alternative music exp losion of the 80’s and 90’s. Morris and  Hetson remain the only consi stent members since the band’s creation. Bassist Zander Schloss (The  W eirdos\, Joe Strummer) has been a member since the 1980’s. During hiatus es\, Morris fronted bands  like OFF! and FLAG\, while Hetson played guita r in Bad Religion. \n\nThe 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 Coop er\, Elton  John\, Johnny Depp\, Guns N’ Roses\, and Philip K. Dick. De cades later\, their music continues to make  an imprint on generations of diverse music fans and those who challenge the status quo. \n\nIn celebr ation of the band’s 40th anniversary and the commemorative reissue of th eir celebrated  landmark record Group Sex\, Circle Jerks return to the st age for the first time in over a decade.\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\nSince fi rst emerging from (and defining) the Southern California pop-punk scene in 1978\, the legendary Descendents have released classic after classic\, fr om their landmark 1982 LP Milo Goes to College to 2016's Hypercaffium S pazzinate. Now\, after issuing a flurry of singles to get fans through the past few years\, the band — Milo Aukerman (vocals)\, Bill Stevenson (dr ums)\, Stephen Egerton (guitar)\, and Karl Alvarez (bass) — will be tour ing in support of a new album. With a very cool twist.\n\nWhat started wit h Milo Goes to College now comes full circle on the blistering 9th & \; Walnut (Epitaph)\, a "lost album" quietly recorded in 2002 by the MGT C lineup of Stevenson\, Aukerman\, Tony Lombardo on bass\, and Frank Nave tta (d. 2008) on guitar. Audiences should be geared up for shows featuring songs spanning Descendents' incredible career\, from "Suburban Home" and "Silly Girl" to "I'm the One" and "Without Love\," and including 9th & \; Walnut tracks like first single "Baby Doncha Know" and its incendiary follow-up\, "Nightage."
