\nFaldt over en hvidgl\u00f8dende 1982-liveoptagelse med amerikanske The Gun Club, bandet der havde Jeffrey Lee Pierce som desperat frontfigur. Med deres helt egen geografiske blanding af westcoast-punk, dryppende sydstats-gloom og blues-riffs fra en nedre verden viste The Gun Club i starten af 80’erne vejen for ikke s\u00e5 f\u00e5 andre nye bands. Her i DK blev The Gun Club s\u00e5ledes krediteret som hovedinspirationskilde for den ko-punk, som DAD startede ud med, men det er at give sidstn\u00e6vnte band mere credibility end dets ultrakonservative og overfladiske vaudeville-show fortjener. The Gun Club’s kreative flamme br\u00e6ndte hurtigt ud, sikkert som f\u00f8lge af Jeffrey Lee’s seri\u00f8se drugabuse, men over 3 plader – debuten Fire Of Love, Miami (+ Death Party-EP’en) og The Las Vegas Show – lykkkedes det at forl\u00f8se personlig intensitet i en sangskrivning af h\u00f8j, h\u00f8j klasse. Jeffrey Lee Pierce, der bizart nok omkring 1980 var formand for Blondie’s amerikanske fan-club, d\u00f8de i 1996, kun 38 \u00e5r gammel. Da eksisterede The Gun Club stadig, men kun som en skygge af sit eget tidligere format. P\u00e5 billedet ovenfor ses Jeffrey Lee sammen med Kid Congo Powers, ace-guitaristen der udover Gun Club ogs\u00e5 har spillet med The Cramps og Nick Cave. Men det er en helt anden historie…<\/p>\n
SEX BEAT<\/p>\n
Johnny’s got a light in his eyes and Shirley’s got a light on her lips
\nJakes got a monkeyshine on his head and Debra Ann’s got a tiger in her hips
\nThey can twist and turn they can move and burn
\nThey can throw themselves against the wall
\nBut they creep for what they need
\nAnd they explode to the call and then they move
\nMove
\nSex beat, go<\/p>\n
They’re stupid like I told ya, very stupid like ya saw
\nVery stupid as the simple thought of ever thinking at all
\nAnd all their mind, all their souls all their bodies all we know
\nAll we know all the things that should a made us whole
\nAll the colourless security was all that someone could go and move, move
\nSex beat, drop<\/p>\n
And yes you do look cool and by the floodlights so blue
\nYou make my tropical apartment bed, your sacrificial pool
\nMy body in the water and my heart is in your hand
\nSo this is the way you choose to send me to the judgement land
\nSo you can’t move, move oohh..sex beat, go<\/p>\n
And every day I agree you throw me down by the christmas tree
\nI watched your lights blink on and off while you start your fun with me
\nI, I know your reasons and I, I know your goals
\nWe can fuck forever but you will never get my soul
\nJust so you can move
\nSo you can move
\nSo you can move
\nSo you can move so you can
\nOohh…sex beat<\/p>\n
