We could all use a bit of that Punk edge and energy in our lives sometimes and adding the Circle Jerks ReAction figure of Skank Man will give a little piece of that to your collection.Ĭircle Jerks are also gearing up for a belated 40th anniversary tour with support varying by date from 7Seconds, Negative Approach, Adolescents, and The Bouncing Souls. This 3.75” articulated Circle Jerks ReAction figure of Skank Man with determined facial expression and Punk Rock attire looks ready to let loose in the nearest mosh pit he can find.
It’s not easy to capture the energy and attitude of Punk Rock in a single image, but the picture of Skank Man captured that ethos so well it was adopted by the Circle Jerks as their band mascot logo. He was recently immortalized as a bobblehead, and now he’s an acton figure, courtesy of Super 7’s ReAction series. Limited Seating Available - Standing Room OnlyHardcore legends Circle Jerks are not only in the process of reissuing classic albums, their iconic ‘Skank Man’ mascot is getting a new life too. Bassist Zander Schloss (The Weirdos, Joe Strummer) has been a member since the 1980’s. Morris and Hetson remain the only consistent members since the band’s creation. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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."Ĭircle Jerks emerged from the punk underbelly of LA’s South Bay in 1979.

Since first emerging from (and defining) the Southern California pop-punk scene in 1978, the legendary Descendents have released classic after classic, from their landmark 1982 LP Milo Goes to College to 2016's Hypercaffium Spazzinate.
