Gun Club (blues, punk, rock, albums, Tool)

As far as I can tell there is no thread on this band. I'm not even sure if there's been any discussion about this band, since that stupid search tool doesn't let you look for words under four letters... FIX THAT! In any case... what kind of band are Gun Club? Punk rock, that's for sure. But bluesy, in a twisted dying New Orleaner on speed kind of way. These aren't the kind of blues that grab you and drag you back into the primordial swamp, they're the kind of blues that result from one too many drinks of Jack Daniels, there's a drunken recklessness and passion here.

Here's a jpeg to keep you all placated. Go find some music.

Like Calling Up Thunder!

The Gun Club are fantastic. Miami and Fire of Love is all I've heard, and I don't particularly care enough to hear their other stuff (i don't imagine it's as good), but those two albums are fantastic, interesting and fun. I love their sleaziness.

Great great band. That first album is classic and would be one of my Desert Island Discs.
