GUN CLUB FAMILY TREE
by Sarah Carrier
The Gun Club Family Tree is my attempt to portray the many interesting connections fostered by founder Jeffrey Lee Pierce. During its existence, The Gun Club’s lineup changed often, featuring many career musicians from different continents and various genres. The family is indeed a large one. So large, in fact, that I had to omit some due to space. For instance, I would have added Siouxsie and the Banshees, for whom The Gun Club offered tour support. However, I thought it important to include some of the musicians who may have inspired the band. These musicians appear along the top. The Gun Club Family Tree is another humble dedication to musician and music scholar Jeffrey Lee Pierce who died in 1996.
