Gun Club: Guns For Hire
Lindsay Hutton, Sounds, 17 December 1983
IT'S ALMOST three years to the day since I encountered the Gun Club. After the Cramps' 1980 Lyceum Show, Lux Interior introduced me to the band that they'd got their new guitar player from. So now it's December 1983 and Congo is back from whence he came. As of now the definitive line-up stalks the world.
