80s Circle Jerks American Tour 1985 Punk Band t-shirt Small

Chest 17 in.Length 27.5 in. Content: 50/50 Cotton/PolyesterTag Brand: Belton This incredible vintage tee is for the hardcore punk band Circle Jerks, who emerged out of the southern California scene in the early 80s. This shirt promotes a 1985 American Tour that was used to promote the group's fourth studio album, titled Wonderful. By this point in time, the band consisted of founding members Keith Morris and Greg Hetson, as well as new additions Keith Clark and Zander Schloss. Wonderful was the follow up to their 1983 album, Golden Shower of Hits, which featured the track "Coup d'Etat". The song is remembered for appearing on the soundtrack to the cult classic, Repo Man starring Emilio Estevez. A sci-fi satire of Reagan-era America, the movie is remembered for its hardcore punk soundtrack, and Circle Jerks also made a cameo in the film. This shirt features one of the many awesome illustrations drawn by Shawn Kerri, a notable cartoonist in the Los Angeles punk scene. Kerri used to design promotional graphics for many of the local bands, including groups like T.S.O.L., Fear, and the Germs. She was also the creator of the iconic "Skank Kid", which became a part of the Circle Jerks logo. The image on this tee was drawn in 1981 and used to advertise a Circle Jerks show at the Whiskey-a-Go-Go. The drawing was then repurposed into a rad merch design. The tag says medium but this shirt fits like a modern unisex adult small. There is a repair and a light spot on the back, see pics. 25-04-129826
