Scottish rockers Gun have announced a headline show in Oxford for September, following on from the release of new album ‘Break the Silence’.
Fresh from a show stopping performance at Download Festival 2012, Gun are set to tour Europe with The Cult.
The new album ‘Break The Silence’ is produced by Dave Eringa, the mastermind behind artists such as The Manic Street Preachers and Idlewild. The collaboration resulted in a perfect balance between a modern approach and a vintage energy reminding at times of The Stooges or early Stones - the perfect sonic dress for Gun´s inspired and versatile songwriting. Not just another exercise in nostalgia, but an album that “had to be made”, made of songs that were too good not to be heard.
Their debut album, 1989’s ‘Taking On The World’, heralded Gun’s arrival on the music scene. The band became one of the UK’s best loved rock acts and toured with the likes of The Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, Simple Minds, Bryan Adams and Def Leppard. With critically acclaimed albums, eight Top 40 singles, awards and line up changes under their belt, Gun decided to call it a day in 1998. Fast forward 10 years to 2008, which saw Gun being awarded with the prestigious Nordoff Robbins Tartan Clef award for ‘Scotland’s Best Live Band’, leading to the band reuniting to an enthusiastic response.
Gun UK & Ireland Tour Dates are as follows:
Sun September 16th 2012 - O2 Academy 2 Oxford, Oxford
