April 7, 2011, 13 years ago
The notorious twisted twins that are Lee and Iggie Pistolero have reformed the original Flamenco, glam, sleaze, rock n roll gods... GYPSY PISTOLEROS.
Gypsy Pistoleros have always had a reputation for danger and will make history by being the only band to be invited to play at all five Rocklahoma festivals, in Oklahoma, on May 28th, where they will appear alongside MÖTLEY CRÜE, POISON, WHITESNAKE, PAPA ROACH, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, etc. when they close Saturday night. They have toured extensively, playing with the likes of L.A. GUNS, RATT, DOGS 'AMOUR, DIRTY PENNY, BAI BANG, WRATHCHILD, VAINS OF JENNA, TWISTED SISTER, Poison, VINCE NEIL, BANG TANGO, SKID ROW, SLAUGHTER, FASTER PUSSYCAT, DOKKEN and ZZ TOP.
Their last gig as a band was on the main stage of England’s legendary Bulldog Bash biker festival in August 2010, Rocklahoma will be the first reunited gig.
Lee and Iggie Pistolero commented, "Some may see this reunion as the coming of the Anti Christ? But it will be far worse! Viva la Revolution, there's a whirlwind coming..."
The group will release a new double Greatest Hits'album later this year, entitled The Greatest Flamenco Sleaze Glam Rock 'N Roll Band Ever. It will be recorded at Nomad 51 Studios, Birmingham and produced by Mark Westwood
