Blixa Sounds

Founded in 2018, Blixa Sounds is a Los Angeles based re-issue label.

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.

Back In Stock

Released originally in 1982 Miami was the follow up album to 1981's debut and critically acclaimed debut Fire of Love album on Ruby records by LA punk blues outfit the Gun Club. Miami was produced by Chris Stein of Blondie and released on his label Animal records. Featuring such classics as The Fire of Love, Devil in the Woods and a cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival's Run Through the Jungle this second release only strengthened the Gun Club's rise to glory. This record also features Debbie Harry on backing vocals.

Both vinyl and CD issues feature an extra disc featuring demo versions of the entire album; in addition, the CD also includes six previously unreleased demos of material that would later turn up on The Las Vegas Story: Walking With the Beast, Prune Dicks From Mars, Vampires, Journey to Zatar, Blue Hair and Pig Boys.
