The Las Vegas Story

by The Gun Club

The Las Vegas Story cover art

Jeffrey Lee Pierce steered The Gun Club through a remarkably dark, cinematic evolution of their swampy punk-blues sound on 'The Las Vegas Story'. The album utilizes twangy, reverb-drenched guitar lines and highly poetic, desert-wandering narratives to craft a deeply melancholic atmosphere. It is a warm, fiercely passionate post-punk interpretation of Americana and roots music.
