Editor's review
Over the past half decade, The Gun and Doll Show has evolved into one of Bay Area's much-revered power-pop acts, distinguished by their chunky guitar-rock riffs, sugar-sweet pop melodies, and their ardent admiration to entertain its fans. At first listen, they're instantly accessible, but even more so unpredictable with an eclectic sound that contains enough kick and just the right blend of melodic pop and rock that sounds even better and better each time out.
Biography
Recorded Sept 11th 2002 at a friends house studio, directly next to the WTC.
The names being read in remembrance are coming in through the window during the recording of the song live, and were picked up by the singers microphones. Dedicated to ALL victims of violence!
Three girls and four boys make up the musical battle of the sexes that is The Gun and Doll Show. They have appeared before standing-room-only crowds for the past ten years. San Francisco Chronicle's James Sullivan wrote, "The group has built a devoted following with an outrageous stage presence and exuberance."The expert songwriting and creepy intensity of their debut 1998 CD, Working On The Bomb (Fortune Records), introduced the West Coast to the band's unique sound. Their 2000 release New Blood (Fortune Records) was touted as one of the "Top 10 albums of 2000" (alongside Green Day and The Who ) in The East Bay Express. The seven piece has been featured in Playboy and Maxim's Blender Magazine .
"I LOVE THIS ALBUM, GREAT PRODUCTION. You will have a hard time getting me to take it out of my C.D. player. So no, you can't borrow mine. GO GET YOUR OWN COPY."
-Renée Richardson". D.J KFOG 104.5 about American Radio
"On American Radio there's at least a moment in each song for everyone. In a time when most rock bands look almost as bored as their audiences, it's refreshing to see a band truly committed to entertaining it's fans".
