The Gun Club
Danse Kalinda Boom 
Vinyl reissue
(Chaputa Records)




Reissue of 1984 live recordings.

Those intent on digging the singular punk-blues of Jeffrey Lee Pierce, Kid Congo, and Patricia Morrison (with an unknown drummer, possibly Terry Graham) will disregard unflattering audio, and gambol in a fractious mileau through which slid the driven and tormented spirit of Robert Johnson; urban seethe and its distant voodoo kinfolk hunted illicit elation on dissolute boulevards; and schizzing guitars smacked together in madly confluent battle.

Recommended: "Stranger In Our Town," "Gila Monster, New Mexico / Preaching Blues," "Goodbye Johnny," "Sleeping In Blood City," "Give Up the Sun."

Video: "Stranger In Our Town" (non-LP version)
