Ron Reyes (born July 24, 1960 in Puerto Rico) is an American musician
most noted as the second singer for the Los Angeles punk rock group
Black Flag. Reyes joined Black Flag after original vocalist Keith
Morris had quit to form the Circle Jerks. Black Flag needed a singer
to go on a tour to Vancouver, Canada, and asked Reyes to fill in. Ron
is the singer on the "Jealous Again" EP, and is the vocalist in the
film "The Decline of Western Civilization." He left the band due to
the violence at Black Flag shows. Thirty-three years after leaving
Black Flag, Reyes reunited with the band in 2013 for an album, the
band's first in twenty-eight years, and tour followed that same year
with Reyes being fired mid-show during a performance in Australia. Ron
started his band Piggy in 2011. And also was the guest lead vocalist
for Whidbey Island Washington's POTBELLY on a split 7" with Montana's
Bath Salts Brigade in 2018. He only did one performance with
Potbelly.Ron Reyes was born in Puerto Rico and spent the first years
of his life in The Bronx before moving to the Redondo Beach/Torrance
area of southern California. His father owned a popular jazz shop in
California and Ron grew up listening to his father's record
collection. As a boy, Ron would hang out in the streets and listen to
Black Sabbath and David Bowie while his friends sniffed glue and
smoked cannabis. He remembers himself as an outcast in school, where
the jocks would make fun of his KISS inspired glam rock fashion.
Despite scorn for his young ideas, an undeterred Ron carried his
dreams to reality becoming an early adopter, first to do â€" invent.
And he shared his first experiences at legendary Hollywood punk venues
like RAJI'S to his high school friends in Hermosa Beach, spreading the
news and unfurling the flag for new local bands to come.At the time of
joining Black Flag, he was a street kid who had been following them
since the beginning, and already knew all the songs. He also played
drums in an early incarnation of Redd Kross, along with Greg Hetson,
who went on to form the Circle Jerks with Keith Morris, and
subsequently joined Bad Religion. After touring with the band for less
than a year, he left Black Flag in the middle of a show at the
Fleetwood in Redondo Beach, due to his dissatisfaction with the rising
violence in the punk scene. Ron Reyes Biography, Weight & Height, Age, Nationality & Ethnicity
