27 May
Summary
- Keith Morris confronted a fan questioning his political statements.
- Morris emphasized the political nature of Circle Jerks' lyrics.
- Circle Jerks have upcoming European and U.S. festival dates.

During a recent Circle Jerks concert in Las Vegas, Keith Morris engaged in a heated exchange with an audience member. After performing a song, Morris was called a "traitor" by a fan, leading to a strong rebuttal. Morris defended his actions by highlighting his voting record and his strong disapproval of Donald Trump, whom he called "the biggest piece of shit." He questioned if the fan understood the band's political lyrics, asking if they were "Nazis" or "fascists."
Morris concluded the confrontation by telling the fan to "stay the fuck home" for future shows. The incident occurred before the band played "Coup d'Etat," a song with lyrics about violent government overthrow. The Circle Jerks, whose early albums "Group Sex" and "Wild in the Streets" are considered punk benchmarks, have upcoming performances this summer in Europe and later in the U.S. at the CBGB Festival in New York and the Darker Waves Festival in California.
