Gun Club Mainman
"Jeffrey Lee Pierce is best known as the hard living guitarist/singer who fronted one of the first and finest psychobilly bands, the Gun Club, who seemed obsessed with his own mortality (as evidenced by the lyrics he penned for the group). Born on June 27, 1958, and raised in El Monte, California, Pierce discovered punk rock during his teenage years, while working at Bomp Records, writing for such L.A.-based punk magazines as Slash, and serving as the head of Blondies fan club. By 1979, he was ready to front his own band - first called Creeping Ritual, the group soon changed their name to the Gun Club (supposedly at the request of Circle Jerks frontman, Keith Morris)" Greg Pato - AMG
