The Gun Club were a post-punk band from Los Angeles formed by Jeffrey Lee Pierce (guitar and vocals) with friend, chief of the Ramones fan club and fellow music enthusiast Brian Tristan, also known as Kid Congo Powers.  They changed their name to "The Gun Club" on a suggestion by Pierce's roommate, Circle Jerks singer Keith Morris. Kid Congo commented that the early Gun Club incarnation were "too arty for rock people, far too rock for arty people, too cuckoo for the blues crowd and too American for punk”. Rob Ritter and Terry Graham ex-members of the Bags joined the band in 1980 while Kid Congo Powers left to join the Cramps for a brief period (where he received his name) and returned later after another former Bag’s member Patricia Morrison joined the band.

After the breakup, Powers, Morrison and Desperate formed a band called Fur Bible (Morrison later joined the Sisters of Mercy and the Damned), while Pierce embarked on a solo career. Powers later continued on to join Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds while Pierce assembled a band, the Jeffrey Lee Pierce Quartet, consisting of former members of the Cure and Roxy Music, and released Wildweed in 1985.
