Circle Jerks

On February 14, 1986, the Circle Jerks performed at Fender's Ballroom in Long Beach, capturing the raw energy of their punk roots. This concert came shortly after the release of their album 'Wonderful,' which dropped in 1985, featuring a blend of melodic punk and socially charged lyrics that resonated with fans. Interestingly, the band was in a period of transition, as this was also around the time when they were building a reputation for electrifying live shows. Filmed by VideoLouis Elovitz, this performance encapsulates the gritty spirit of the 80s punk scene and showcases the band's powerful stage presence. The Circle Jerks were not just another punk band; they became icons in a genre that valued authenticity and rebellion.
