How do you describe the Gun Club? i mean they certainly had punk rock attitude, and lived the lifestyle, but they just didn’t sound like anything else goin’ on at the time. Jeffrey Lee Pierce certainly looked like he could have come more from any of the later 80’s L.A. glam rock bands, yet the swamp punk guitar sound was totally like nothing else. The short run of the Gun Club produced two very influential albums, many classic songs, and yet they never achieved the success they deserved…Sex Beat was certainly one of the great ones with it’s fast pace and lyrics full of lusty youthful angst. Here is a live performance, probably later in the band’s career. Sadly after years of drug and alcohol abuse Jeffrey passed away at the age of 37.
