GUN with special guests Kira Mac & Collateral
Fresh off their latest studio triumph, 'Hombres,’ GUN ( released 12th April on Cooking Vinyl), the Scottish rock legends and MTV EMA award winners are set to captivate audiences across the UK with their electrifying tour this December. Known for their compelling blend of rock and a string of hits that have charted across Europe, GUN has consistently been a force in the music industry, boasting 3 UK top 20 albums, 8 UK top 40 singles, and extensive tours, including memorable performances with The Rolling Stones.
The band's latest Album 'Hombres,' features prominently in the Samuel L. Jackson-starring film 'Damaged.' Recorded and produced with Simon Bloor (Trevor Horne) and mixed by Daryl Thorpe ( Foo Fighters ), the album showcases GUN's continued evolution and unparalleled rock prowess. The first single from the album, 'All Fired Up,' sets the tone for an album that Metal Talk hails as "a real celebration and a genuine contender for Album of the Year," receiving a perfect 5-star review.
Steve Harris of Iron Maiden praised 'Hombres' as the "Best GUN album since Gallus," My Global Mind lauded the band's recent showcase, proclaiming GUN "deserved to stand shoulder to shoulder with the greats." Such accolades underscore GUN's enduring impact and vitality in the rock genre.
Following the success of 'The Calton Songs' and receiving prestigious awards at Hard Rock Hell and the Scottish Music Awards, GUN continues to solidify its legendary status in rock music. The current lineup, featuring original members Dante Gizzi (Vocals) and Giuliano Gizzi (Guitar), along with Paul McManus (Drums), Andy Carr (Bass), and Ru Moy (Guitar), promises an unforgettable live experience that blends iconic tracks with fresh hits from 'Hombres.'
