The Renegade Gypsy Flamenco Rock N' Roll Glam Sleaze Punksters are back with a new mini album.
The debut album "Wild Beautiful Damned" dates back to 2007 and since
Gypsy Pistoleros has been touring extensively on that album including two appearances at Rocklahoma. The album opens with the title track
Hotel De La Muerte, which smartly
fools around with several lines from Eagles'
Hotel California. The song is a based on strong riffs and great melody lines.
The debut album caught everybody off guard with its blend of English and Spanish.
Gypsy Pistoleros is unique and this mini album again underlines you can blend Latin and Sleazy Rock N' Roll successfully. Guitarist Iggie Pistolero is solid and Lee's vocals are strong. The guitar sound and Lee's characteristic vocals define
Gypsy Pistoleros. Joe Gibbs has once again produced the band and he has provided the band with a crystal clear sound that suits the English rockers perfectly.
Sangre de Las Rosas is the surprise of the album. It is a beautiful ballad with a great signature riff and a most extraordinary guitar sound. The chorus is great and the use of trumpet adds more emotion to the song and also gives it a Spaghetti western flavor.
Sleaze/Glam metal was born in Hollywood clubs like Troubadour and Gazzaris, but
Gypsy Pistoleros can take it to a Mexican cantina and make it work. Unique is the keyword! Hopefully a full length release is in the can soon since this mini LP feels like an appetizer only.
We want more!
Turn it up, Amigo!
