Song of the Day # 160 - The Gun Club

 
The Gun Club were an incomparable band who still don't seem to have received their due. It's difficult to imagine The Pixies existing as they did without them. Here's just one of their finer tracks. The lead song from 1983 EP Death Party. Eerie, sombre subject matter and one of the great song titles. The stuff of literature. Jeffrey Lee Pierce first came to prominence as President of Blondie's American fan club and remained in his looks throughout his career a strange, androgynous tribute to the beauty of Debbie Harry.
