The Gun Club is a rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1980-1981 by Jeffrey Lee Pierce, Brian Tristan (better known as Kid Congo Powers), Don Snowden and Brad Dunning. Originally called The Creeping Ritual, the band gained recognition with their debut album "Fire Of Love" in 1981. Over the years, the lineup changed multiple times, with various talented musicians joining and leaving.

Known for their unique blend of punk rock with influences from blues, rockabilly, and country music, The Gun Club has been hailed as pioneers of the cowpunk and punk blues sound. Their music has been described as "tribal psychobilly blues." Despite facing setbacks such as hiatuses and lineup changes, the band continued to release albums and captivate audiences with their raw energy.

Tragically, on March 31st, 1996, The Gun Club came to an end following the death of Jeffrey Lee Pierce. However, their impact on the punk rock subculture remains significant. If you enjoy artists like Richard Hell, Dead Moon or X who push boundaries and fuse genres together seamlessly then The Gun Club's discography is definitely worth exploring.

Released in 1984 the 'Las Vegas Story' was possibly the most complete and unrushed Gun Club LP again to be released on Animal records. Produced by Jeff Eyrich this LP saw the band experiment more with covering show tunes like Gershwin's 'My Man's Gone Now' and a killer take on Pharoah Sander 'The Creator Has a Master Plan'. Yet another raved about LP in the press the 'Las Vegas Story' was the icing on the cake in the Gun Club's early carrier. 2CD - This release features the album in all it's glory plus a bonus CD featuring a complete live show from Le Loft, Strasbourg, France on the 20th November 1984.LP - Limited Transparent green vinyl with download including bonus material.
