Circle Jerks

In April 1984, just a month after the release of their latest studio album, 'Wonderful', Circle Jerks showcased their high-octane punk energy in a live performance at the Stardust Ballroom in Los Angeles. This show captured the band at a significant point in their career, where they were riding the wave of their newfound notoriety following the release of 'Wonderful', which exhibited a more polished sound compared to their earlier raw material. The setlist for this performance spotlighted fan favorites like 'Wild In The Streets' and 'Question Authority', demonstrating their knack for catchy hooks paired with an edgy message that resonated with their audience. It’s fascinating to note that this era marked a transition for them, experimenting with new sounds while still staying true to their punk roots, making this live recording not just a concert, but a moment of evolution in their artistic journey.
