He could play the songs but as for any improvisation and any kind of magic, well, we just couldn't do it. Terry had been filming everything on Super 8 and all the tapes got stolen. What was the mood in the band when you took the album on tour? KCP: That style of jazz has its own language and it speaks to you. Born against a background of adversity and fighting back, this is a re-birth that burned brightly and intently but one that wouldn't - couldn't - last. It was very beautiful and moody so we picked him based on that. He wasn't a great communicator. In The Gun Club before, we didn't even use a distortion pedal or anything so it was all very raw and very basic. They were in a bunch of legal trouble wrangling with their record company and so not playing often and definitely not recording... and I just wanted to make music. You also covered John Coltrane's 'A Love Supreme' on the tour. They returned several years later with another line-up and the brilliant Mother Juno album but at this point in time, The Las Vegas Story was an artistic pinnacle from a band that had already claimed and justified its uniqueness. A pesar de su poco éxito The Gun Club es considerado un grupo altamente de culto, debido a la expresión de sus letras. As a wholly independent publication, we rely entirely on our ad bookings to keep The Quietus going. Jeffrey already had some songs for The Las Vegas Story at that point. KCP: Oh yeah! We were very into the Beats; Jeffrey was a very big Burroughs fan – as we all were – and we were really revelling in Bukowski, Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, Brion Gysin, Malcolm Lowry; Under The Volcano was passed around a lot and we passed it on to Nick Cave as well reading a lot of Joseph Conrad and Heart Of Darkness. With the benefit of 30 years hindsight, how do you view The Las Vegas Story now? KCP: I'm extremely proud of it because it's the most different of all of The Gun Club's records. What did you think they had to offer? KCP: A distortion pedal! The component parts may be recognisable but the whole is something new altogether. It was quite the extended excursion, wasn't it? The Gun Club was very, very influenced by The Cramps, actually. Is it true you used Ry Cooder's equipment when he was out of the studio? We were influenced by the way the Beats used language. What were the circumstances surrounding your departure from The Cramps and your return to The Gun Club? This album saw the return of founding member and lead guitarist Kid Congo Powers, after a three year stint with The Cramps.All songs composed by Jeffrey Lee Pierce; except where indicated 1. The album feels like a musical reading of Charles Bukowski. Jeff really helped us a lot and he got us into Ry Cooder's studio and he had all this great vintage equipment and all these strange percussion instruments and we were like, "Oh! We weren't jazz players and we can't play jazz but we can make our own version of it and that's what did; we made our own language so people of our language could understand that language.

At once there's drama and menace and a clear line drawn in the sand from all that the band had done before. The Las Vegas Story, the third full-length album by The Gun Club, released 30 years ago this month, is, in a number of ways, a farewell of sorts. If we were keeping any habits then they were at the minimum. Me, Patricia and Jeffrey ended up staying in London for many years. But I think these were sounds Jeffrey and I wanted to incorporate into the newest version of The Gun Club. Clearly change was in the air. All the promises that had been previously made are here delivered and then some. Obviously we did a little homage to Pharaoh Sanders with 'The Creator Has A Master Plan'. The Gun Club fue una banda de rock, formada en 1980, y separada en 1996. KCP: I think it's very obvious that we had a huge Television influence on this record and a love of their music. We were very much into finding new things via old music and interpreting it in a new way. John Cale had produced many great records from The Stooges to Patti Smith to Nico and you know, John Cale is John Cale! There was an increasing amount of disgust with a certain kind of nationalism that seemed to be coming over the country and LA in particular. We were all in very big agreement that we would just leave the country and not come back until it was better. Kid Congo Powers: A few different things happened. Similarly, the devastating 'Stranger In Our Town' is powered by one of the band's – and, indeed, rock & roll's - filthiest riffs before exploding into an anguished howl that continues to haunt well after the fact. This is an album that has weathered the years well and still stands the test of time thanks to its universal themes that, for good or ill, are as relevant now as they were then and a quality of playing that was driven by a bold and daring vision, and a desire to give rock and roll a new lease of life in an ever-increasingly mechanised world. It was great, I felt great and the band was just great. That was the goal. With the old consensus being set up for a brutal stripping and dismantling in favour of something uncaring and psychotic – the ramifications of which we're truly feeling now, - The Gun Club subconsciously capture the mood of the times and none more so than on the climactic 'Give Up The Sun'. But there was definitely a change in the times; the records before it and the records after it don't have that mood.

We wouldn't have got anything done if we had. So he just got the tape rolling and recorded us. I remember on that tour we were playing 'Eternally Is Here' and 'Moonlight Motel'. I was taking a lot of drugs and that's not so great for creativity. Crunch master Julian Marszalek speaks to Kid Congo Powers about the 30th anniversary of The Las Vegas Story. Compared to its predecessors, The Las Vegas Story sounds like a fresh start for The Gun Club. We offer a wide selection of handguns, rifles, and machine guns. KCP: At the time of work and making music and recording, we didn't do anything in the studio. The Las Vegas Story stands out in The Gun Club's sizeable body of work.
