AFTER an incredible run of festival dates, 90s rockers GUN are back on the road to cap off a successful 2018, with a series of live shows across the UK, including a gig at Buckley Tivoli this week.

Since forming in Glasgow in 1987, GUN have become one of Britain's best loved rock bands, with over 1m album sales worldwide, hit singles such as Better Days and 1994's massive Word Up and tours with the likes of The Rolling Stones, Def Leppard and Bon Jovi.

After reforming in 2008 following a split in 1997, the band have released a series of critically acclaimed albums and re-established themselves as consummate songwriters and performers.

Late 2017 saw GUN headline a sold out show at Glasgow Barrowlands, and a sold out co-headline (with InMe) at London's Electric Ballroom.

GUN recently released Favourite Pleasures, their seventh studio album. Standing proudly with the very best of their work, it’s an album informed by a combination of a back-to-basics approach tempered by an innate melodic sensibility, mastering the domain of their own Morse Code studios in Paisley, and knowing how to deal with those curveballs that keep flying from all directions.

“We wanted to go back to our rockier roots and I think we’ve achieved that,” says frontman Dante Gizzi. “GUN will always have tons of melody – over the years that’s been instilled in us and it’s what we love and we love playing those songs live – but I think with this one, we’ve become tougher.”

Catch GUN on the famous Tivoli stage on Friday November 2 with special guests The Kris Barras Band and Austin Gold completing an awesome line-up.

Tickets available from all usual outlets.
