Black Flag Singers

Keith Morris from 1976-1979.

Now:



I saw him with the Circle Jerks way back when I was 18 or so in Salt Lake City. I always loved the Circle Jerks as they were one of the first punk bands I ever heard, actually it left such an impression on me, I can still remember exactly where I was when I heard it. I was playing basketball and my friend Kenny said "You have to hear this..." and it was the song I've Got the World Up My Ass and it blew me away. We sat there and listened to it over and over and then played basketball singing the song at the top of our lungs. This was probably in 1987 or so I am guessing. So anywho... back to 1991... I'm at the gig and for some reason I decide between songs to jump up on stage and shake his hand and then I turn around and stage dive back into the crowd. I've got brand new Docs on with the steel toes and I come down off the crowd toes first and crack all my toe nails in half on one foot. Haha, what a dolt.

Ron Reyes (Chavo) (1979–1980)





He's the guy that was the singer in Decline of Western Civilization movie that lived in the closet (literally). Then he hit Dez in the head with a brick and smashed the tour van's windshield and was thrown out. Now he's a born again Christian.

Dez Cadena (1980–1981)

Now:



Yep, I had no idea he's joined the Misfits. Well, not the REAL Misfits, but y'know what I mean. He also played in some band called Carnage Asada in which I think might be up for consideration in the "all-time best band name" list.

Henry Rollins (1981–1986)

Henry gets too much press as it is. Meh. Hey, remember the girl bass player that was in Black Flag for a bit? Who the heck was that? Well, I checked it out, her name is Kira Roessler:





She married Mike Watt and was in the band Dos. Now, she works on a lot of movies as a dialogue editor.
