July 5, 2004

OK, it has been dead silent on this site for a long long time,
but the news I received today is so important, I had to break the silence:

Sympathy For The Record Industry have scheduled to (re)release
'Miami', the 'Death Party' EP, and 'The Las Vegas Story' on vinyl and CD in October!

The track 'Secret Fires', which so far was only available on the original MC-release of 'The Las Vegas Story',
will be added as a bonus track to the CD-rerelease of 'The Las Vegas Story', and is said to be
released as a 7 inch single as well!

"Working directly with the family of Jeffrey Lee Pierce and Animal Records owner Chris Stein,
Sympathy For The Record Industry is excited and honored to be re-releasing 3 long out of print GUN CLUB records."

Read all about it on their website and stay tuned!

... back into silence again ... scroll down for the old pages ...

PLEASE NOTE: UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE THIS SITE WILL NOT BE UPDATED ANYMORE!

As noted before, due to personal (happy) circumstances this site has only been slightly updated throughout the past year.
I hoped to add more the upcoming months, but time provides otherwise. Therefore I have decided to close the site until further
notice. It will not disappear (I pay for this webspace), but the information here is frozen as it is as I write this notification.

Somewhere in the (distant?) future I hope to continue maintaining it as I used to do, and who knows I might even get up-to-date with it all again!?

As long as this website is being closed I also deleted the links to my email.
If you still want to leave a note or just say hi, I have opened a guestbook ...

Thank you,
Ger.

NEWSFLASH

August 2003

During the past months new CD-versions of the "Miami" and "The Las Vegas Story" albums,
including bonustracks, have been offered for sale (especially "Miami" has been heavily sold on eBay).
PLEASE NOTE that these releases are BOOTLEGS!!

Maybe the company or person who owns the rights of these albums will finally become aware of
the importance of rereleasing these CD's!?!

March 2003

In the near future,
Spanish El Beasto Recordings
plan to release a Gun Club tribute double vinyl album
"Walking With The Beasto",
featuring bands from all over the planet!

And here are still the older newsflashes for you to enjoy!

This Gun Club page is divided into the following sections:

The Gun Club & Jeffrey Lee Pierce chronological discography of official releases,
including pictures of most sleeves, so please be a little patient 'cause it will take some time to load.
The Gun Club & Jeffrey Lee Pierce bootlegs and tape/CD-R trading page, which includes (almost) everything not on the discography page, like semi-legal releases, bootlegs, and other audio/video recordings I own myself.
Jeffrey Lee Pierce's lyrics.
A collection of various articles from magazines and newspapers.
A small memorial, as a tribute to Jeffrey Lee Pierce.
Learn how to play The Gun Club on guitar in the tabs section!
A selection of Gun Club/Jeffrey Lee Pierce soundfiles.

Everything included on these pages was compiled from my personal Gun Club and Jeffrey Lee Pierce collection. Additional information was taken from various sources, a.o. Hellione's old/original Gun Club page, "Fire Of Love" which I downloaded back in June 1996. After a while I tried to check those pages again, but the URL was gone, and I couldn't find it again. It lasted until June 1998 (so, after I set up this site) I discovered the original pages found a temporary home at another site. Finally, in October 1998 Hellione returned on the web, and hosts a revised edition of her Gun Club site. Check it out!

When Hellione returned, she also set up a Gun Club mailing list. The same thing was done in December 1998 by Mars. The name of his list later changed to "Wildweed", which name has been used when the two lists merged into one in October 1999. If you like to join "Wildweed", just follow the link to subscribe!

More Gun Club and related links can be found below!
