If gene splicing scientists had created the GYPSY PISTOLEROS, they would have a certain set of ingredients in front of them to arrive at this raucous mix of glam rock, theatrical rock and shambolic punk. Firstly, one has to look at rock musicals like ‘Rocky Horror Show’ and perhaps a dash of ‘Grease’ to ensure we are blessed with the sort of harmonies that somehow 4 people manage to deliver instead of an ensemble cast. Then we pick up a healthy slice of 70s British glam rock. There’s no denying the nods towards T-Rex, Slade, Wizzard, and more from the era into Gypsy Pistoleros’ music.
We are presenting in exclusive GYPSY PISTOLEROS upcoming new album “Dark Faerie Tales” which isn’t as immediate as its predecessor – the glorious Church Of The Pistoleros from last year – rather, in the way that many albums that end up becoming your all-time favorites have, it gives up it’s secrets and delights more cautiously, bidding you as a listener to do a bit more of the heavy lifting this time around.
The end result is the same by the way – they’ve delivered another ripper here.

In the shape of tracks like the, um, rattling good Rattler, or the fabulously down-at-heel King Of Almost Everything, the band have come up with another haul of ragged-trousered signature tunes for the dispossessed or, more likely in today’s climate, those who never had anything in the first place.

Gypsy Lee Pistolero plays his role as gin-soaked rabble rouser to the hilt again, rallying the troops around anthemic all-go-down-together singalongs Take My Hand To Nightmare Land and I’m The Prince of the Damned; Wild-eyed conviction has always been his strong suit, and in producer /co-writer Dave Draper he at last seems to have found the foil he needs to channel that piss n’vinegar for good.
Gypsy Pistoleros no longer seems like a half-baked gimmick, but a viable rallying point, a force for hope in dark and worrying times. Not many bands have the strength of character to take on such a mantle, but on the evidence of their last two records I’m starting to think the Pistoleros might just be such an outfit… Get this record as soon as you can.
