THE GUN CLUB
KID CONGO POWERS, JEFFREY LEE PIERCE, PATRICIA MORRISON, TERRY GRAHAM
plus "MUSTANG" DAVE ALVIN
Los Angeles alternative rockers whose uncompromising style drew from Delta blues, Southern gothic,
and psychobilly. Tribal psychobilly blues is the best way to describe the Gun Club's energetic
death rock, but the band's career seemed doomed from the get-go due to leader Jeffrey Lee Pierce's
reputation as an unreliable wildman, and well-publicized bouts of drunkenness dogged him
throughout his career. Formed in Los Angeles in the early '80s, the band was vaguely aligned
with similarly roots-inspired groups like X and the Blasters, but later picked up and
relocated to the Lower East Side, resting more comfortably around the New York downtown
set and Pierce's mentors, Debbie Harry and Chris Stein.......

The Las Vegas Story was produced by Jeff Eyrich who was just coming off
T-Bone Burnett's Proof Through the Night project and was about to enter the studio
with both the Plimsouls and Thin White Rope. Its lineup features the return
of original guitarist Kid Congo Powers, as well as drummer Terry Graham
and new bassist Patricia Morrison (aka Pat Bag) from L.A. punk outfit the Bags.
Late frontman /guitarist Jeffrey Lee Pierce was writing feverish rock & roll songs
that took their inspiration from Southern blues and West Texas country music
all framed by an angular, jagged post-punk energy.
After Fire of Love, The Las Vegas Story is their most satisfying album
and is, perhaps, the band's most visionary offering...(AllMusic)
