Death Party
After a lineup shake-up, "Death Party" (1983) is the only recording by this version of THE GUN CLUB. In addition to Jeffrey on guitar and vocals there is Dee Pop (Bush Tetras) on drums, Jim Duckworth (Panther Burns) and Jimmy Uiana on bass.
This is a strange and unholy record. "Death Party" (the track) was rumoured to be co-written by San Francisco band FLIPPER and Pierce, and according to Duckworth "it was based on a moronic rock riff that made us all laugh." The standout track among the apocalyptic preaching is the haunting and beautiful "The House on Highland Avenue. " Also included for the first time anywhere is 7 tracks (cd version/4 tracks lp version) from a live radio broadcast from Geneva, Switzerland in March 1983. The band on this recording is Patricia Morrison, Jim Duckworth, Dee Pop and Jeffrey Lee Pierce. Sufice to say there are a lot of surprises, revelations and astonishing moments from this session.
