GUN CLUB - Death Party

Jeffrey Lee Pierce was one of the icons of the "loner and damned artist". All the Gun Club works (and this in a special way) are a mix  of desperation, rage and resignation. Jeffrey voice and his "wrong" way of singing seem perfect to directly transmit this feeling to the audience.
They never had an extraordinary success but  they deserve a position in the rock history.
Death Party EP (5 songs) is from 1983  and it is  my favourite one. It include  "the house on highland avenue" an unforgettable beautiful damned ballad.

LOVE AND ROCKETS - Earth Sun Moon


Love & Rockets alias 3/4 of Bauhaus components is an example of the fact that not always the disband of a great band (Bauhaus) means  the end of the story. From Bauhaus ashes two wonderful reality comes: from one side Peter Murphy start a brilliant solo carrier and on the other side David J, Daniel Ash and Kevin Haskins  created  Love & Rockets. The sound is different from Bauhaus, but it is a great sound. Listening to their works I cannot avoid to compare with some Pink Floyd sonority.
Earth Sun Moon is  athipic in Love and Rockets discography. This is the most  "oniric" of their work and not the most known.

FRA LIPPO LIPPI - Songs

Fra Lippo Lippi was  a strange band in the '80 scene. I consider their music  as " romantic atmosphere" probably because I associate their music to "romantic" periods or relaxed times.
They came from Norway but the sound has something of  "Latin". The had a brief success period with some hits in 85-87. This wok "Songs" was released on the international market in 1985 but songs were already known on the domestic market since few years.
