The Circle Jerks

I bring you a American punk rock band named after the sexual act:

"1.) When a group of males sit in a circle, jerking each other off. "

FORMED IN 1979 FROM HERMOSA BEACH CALIFORNIA
CALIFORNIA BEING A LEGENDARY PLACE FOR THE GENRE

and according to wikipedia the band was organized by the original man o' black flag, Mr. Keith Morris along with his buddy who would later go on to be in Bad Religion Greg Hetson

'The band broke up and reformed twice, sometimes with different bass players and/or drummers. They disbanded for the first time after the release of their fifth album, 1987's VI, as Hetson decided to continue touring and releasing a number of albums with Bad Religion. However, they reunited around 1994 and recorded a reunion album, Oddities, Abnormalities and Curiosities, in the following year, then a tour followed. After that, the Circle Jerks once again parted ways as Hetson was still involved in Bad Religion, but reunited again around 2001. The band has continued touring ever since.'
So yeah thats right, they started out like this-

And kept playing until now they've all turned into old farts.
The thing about the circle jerks is that they've always had a incomprehensible amount of energy
which is what makes there stuff real music.

'To date, the Circle Jerks have released six full-length studio albums, one compilation, live album and live DVD. Their last studio release, Oddities, Abnormalities and Curiosities, came out in 1995 and is the only reunion album the band has released to date. Rumor has it that the Circle Jerks are supposedly gearing up for a new studio album, but nothing has surfaced and little is known whether they have begun work on it. If it is released, this will be their first album of new material in 14 years.'

'Their debut album, was released in 1981 on theFrontier Records label; its 14 songs totaled out at 15 minutes. It featured some songs that Morris had written while in Black Flag (Black Flag claimed the songs were "theirs"). That same year, the group was one of several California punk bands to be immortalized in the Penelope Spheeris documentary ''The Decline of Western Civilization''; live versions of five songs from ''Group Sex'' appear on the movie's soundtrack.

They signed a management deal with War producer/manager Jerry Goldstein's Far Out Productions, and recorded their third album, Golden Shower of Hits, in 1983, the album was released on Goldstein's LAX label. The title track is actually a medley of six cover versions (of artists as diverse and unexpected as The Association, The Carpenters, and Tammy Wynette) strung together to create a story line of two people who fall in love, have an unplanned pregnancy, rush into marriage, and end up divorced. Another song from the album, "Coup d'État", was used in the soundtrack of Alex Cox's early film Repo Man, and the band makes an appearance playing an acoustic/lounge version of "When The Shit Hits The Fan".

Not long after Repo Man had concluded its first-run release schedule, Rogerson and Lehrer left the band. They were replaced by Zander Schloss (who also appeared in Repo Man) and Keith Clark respectively. The band also changed labels for the fourth time, signing a deal with Relativity Records' metal imprint Combat Records, which had started a punk sublabel, Combat Core. The newly revamped group recorded Wonderful, and released it in 1985. Their newfound stability allowed the lineup to record a second album for Relativity, VI, not long afterward. One track from VI, "Love Kills", had been commissioned by Cox for the soundtrack of the movie Sid and Nancy, and can be heard early on in the feature.

Chris Poland played with them briefly after being fired from Megadeth. Zander Schloss had left the band.'

Best way to put it the band took a BRB break in the ninties:
'The Circle Jerks dissolved around 1989 as Hetson left the band to continue playing guitar and release a number of albums with Bad Religion. Live recordings made during what would be their final tour at the time were immortalized in the live album Gig in 1992, their third and last release for Relativity.

During the hiatus, Hetson would continue playing in Bad Religion; Schloss played guitar and bass with various acts; Clark initially retired from music; Morris worked menial jobs, battled health problems, and kicked a longtime dependence on drugs and alcohol.'

The long period of inactivity ended in 1994.

They got there asses back in gear with Mercury Records.

Recorded Oddities, Abnormalities and Curiosities and released it in the summer of 1995

Morris got diabetes in 2000 and the touring had to take a break,

Morris, Hetson, and Schloss continues to tour to the present day, and the hetson guy is also still active in Bad Religon.
