Steve Wildsmith's reporting that Maryville cock rockers Gun*Slinger
have broken up. That's too bad--they were a fun band, and lead guitarist
Cole Graham had a pretty good grasp of the sleazy Sunset Strip vibe of
the 1980s.
A year or so ago, I wrote: "The quartet embraces the arpeggiated guitar solos, liquored-up swagger, and other excesses of the '80s without shame, and probably better than most tribute bands."
So here's to Gun*Slinger. Wildsmith says the remaining members--besides Graham--are backing country singer Jennetta LeAnn (really? She didn't have much choice about her career path with a name like that) as the Riders.
