Gypsy Lee Pistolero will be releasing a new solo album, 'The Good, The Mad and The Beautiful', this fall via Pledge Music. We were sent these details: As former founder, frontman & songwriter of Gypsy Pistoleros, he left his own band on the eve of the Greatest Hits album launch party a few weeks ago, totally disillusioned the constraints of a band.
Lee stated "Days after leaving my own band I pulled in my old White Trash UK writing partner guitarist/Bassist/producer( Clever tosser) Mark Westwood ( Camoora, Neo, Shadowland, Arena,etc) and we have madly put together 20 plus new songs, all the great songs I'd been saving for 'God knows what?'. All the great ideas & songs that couldn't be done within the constraints of bands & labels, sales,etc, we have begun demoing. Lee Evans ( Leeroy Pistolero) has the drum duties, and Kris Jones is on trumpet.
"This time, I will get it perfect. This will be the pure Flamenco Rumba Punk Glam Sleaze Trash Rock N Roll vision that I set out with! There was no way anyone was gonna f$$k with these tracks. With your help Bandidos, these are pure, twisted & untainted! The songs are punkier & more retro Rock N Roll, still with the Flamenco vibe
"After hearing about PledgeMusic, I got really excited! With the success of my old mucker Ginger & his Pledge campaign. I finally realised that something new and fresh does exist ,where the artist can be in direct interaction with the fans without any compromises. ( I have always been open and totally in contact with people interested in my music , something that Record labels & even AEG & Major Rock band mates in the US, tried to discourage?) I want to make music for the people that understand me and my f$$ked up vision.
"Deciding to embrace the changes in the music industry that have occurred in the last year, I have turned to Pledge Music and the Bandido family (The Fans, friends, freaks and beautifully twisted) to make this thing happen. So, check out the pledge rewards please, and become a part of this!!! Because as an Artist, it is all about me & you! Its US!"
