GYPSY PISTOLEROS Para Siempre Bad Reputation (2008)
UK band the Gypsy Pistoleros have already toured with a number of higher profile bands such as Faster Pussycat, LA Guns and Love/Hate, and have recruited ex- Faster Pussycat guitarist Eric Stacey to the band.
New album Para Siempre has managed to capture the raw energy of the bands live performances and the 13 tracks here are reminiscent of early Pretty Boy Floyd, Motley Crue and even a hint of Hanoi Rocks Andy McCoy.
The band mix sleazy glam rock with Spanish guitar in a way that really works well. Highlights on the CD are numerous and include 'Shotgun Kiss Is Ay Que Dolor', 'Un Hombre Sin Rostro, Pistelero', 'Moonchild' and a blinding cover of Ricky Martins 'Livin’ La Vida Loca'.
This is a band to make a point of seeing.
