Poorman’s 15 Minutes of Fame: Zander Schloss (The Circle Jerks)
“I am a solo artist too, and I’ve made a couple of records and, you know, it released to crickets, but you know, it’s like, if you could get some of your listeners and guide them towards my records, they’re, of course, on streaming, you know. And my first record is called Song About Songs, and it’s produced by a guy named Gus Seyffert and some great musicians on it. Gus played with, Roger Waters (Pink Floyd). He played bass with Roger Waters. And the second record that I just made is called Californias Burning. It has nothing to do with the wildfires, but serendipitously it actually, yeah. And this is nothing like Circle Jerks. No. It’s if think about the Circle Jerks and then imagine the polar opposite of the Circle Jerks.”
