30-Apr-87 Review: Taken from Leeuwarder Courant 01-May-87. "In addition, there were several irritations due to detuned guitars and malfunctions in the equipment. All this stirred up the guys in such a way that this was not the best, but certainly the most exciting concert I ever saw from The Gun Club. In addition, they played well, especially by drummer Nick Sanderson and temporary worker Barry Adamson, who plays his bass much, much better than Pierce's Japanese girlfriend Romi [...] And Pierce writhed regularly on the stage floor, howling like a lone coyote. That is why this was a successful concert, but the previously mentioned objections raise questions about the further future of the band. In that respect, it's writing on the wall that The Gun Club still hasn't made a record almost a year after their reunion. There is therefore every reason to believe that the group has had its day." Three months later the Gun Club would start the recording sessions for their masterpiece "Mother Juno" album. |

Summer 1987 |
|
|
|
August 1987. London-Shepherd's Bush. Jeff is visited several times by Mark Lanegan, who's having a few gigs (6/7-Aug-1987) in London with his band The Screaming Trees. "On one of my first visits to Jeffrey's flat in Shepherd's Bush, I asked him about lyrics in a song [of his] I was able to discern. 'Ah, shit!' he said. 'That's from an old folk song I heard when I was a kid. I always use lines from other songs in mine; no one ever notices and it helps me to have a starting place.' And with that began a master class in songwriting from my favorite musician of all time." |

November 1988. "Getting disentangled from the sticky mess our U.K. label Red Rhino left behind when they folded, I got inot my head that I could relocate back to America and negotiate with labels over there. We just ended up going nowhere. We had a demo agreement with Island [records]. It lasted eight months. We were forbidden to play [live in] London and other major UK cities until we were out there promoting 'their' product. We made a series of demos and some showcase gigs, but it was leading nowhere."

December 1990. Nick Sanderson leaves the band. He joins World Of Twist. The Gun Club enlists two interim drummers: Desi Desperate (a.k.a. Peter Kablean) [who did drum duties in the Gun Club before (November/December '84) and in Fur Bible in 1985/86] and Nigel Preston [ex- Theatre Of Hate, The Cult, who is a friend of Nick Sanderson). Nigel Preston then was in the Dublin band The Baby Snakes who's next record Jeffrey Lee Pierce was set to produce in 1991, but Nigel landed in prison (for armed robbery) in 1990 and these plans fell through. On his release from prison he became The Gun Club's drummer for a few live shows in the Summer of '91, while remaining a member of the Baby Snakes. He died on April 1, 1992 of a drug overdose at the age of 32. |

May 1991 Note: Upon arrival at the studio Jeffrey and Desi went to check out the studio. They started jamming, Desi had a drum riff and Jeffrey played guitar, engineer Michiel Dierickx hit the record button, and that became "Sorrow Knows". Jeffrey wrote the words that night. It was the only time Jeff recorded a song spontaneously, one take, no rehearsal. The next morning Kid added his guitar, Romi the bass and Jeffrey the vocals. The drum tracks for "Richard Specks", "Keys To The Kingdom" and "Black Hole" were also recorded that same day. Those 3 tracks had been rehearsed in London. After the sessions Kid, Romi and Desi travelled back to London, leaving Jeffrey behind because he had visa problems. |

xx-Feb-93/21-Feb-93 Note: "Jeffrey had invited me to sing background vocals on a track late one night in Haarlem, a town outside Amsterdam, while I was touring [with the Screaming Trees]. Having already done a full performance for a Dutch television show [21-Feb-1993], a live [VARA FM] radio broadcast, and then a full concert at legendary Amsterdam venue the Paradiso that day, I had been exhausted when I arrived at the studio past midnight. It was their last day recording [the "Lucky Jim" album] and everyone was frantic to finish. The band were wrapping up overdubs and vocals and then mixing them all on the same night. Jeffrey asked me to sing a high harmony on one of the tunes but my voice was already so flicked from three shows that day, done right in the middle of a six-week tour, I was unable to get up above his substantially higher normal range. After a couple goes, I'd said, 'God damn, this has been a dream opportunity, to sing with my favorite band ever. But we both know this sounds like shit, please don't use it.' He sadly agreed. 'This is the song I really wanted you on but it was getting late and we mixed it already.' He had the engineer put on the mix of the song he'd originally planned for me to sing on. It was the title track, "Lucky Jim." I was completely blown away and inwardly angry as hell I'd not arrived in time. It was simply one of the greatest songs he'd ever written and the recording was pristine, the words completely evocative. As I realized the missed opportunity, I was crushed." From "Sing Backwards and Weep", a memoir by Mark Lanegan. |

April 1993. German guitarist Rainer Lingk [Die Haut] is recruited for the Spring live tour. Jeffrey had recorded in New York in January 1992 with Die Haut for their "Head On" album. He would join them on stage as guest vocalist (together with Kid Congo, Alex Hacke, Blixa Bargeld, Anita Lane and Nick Cave) in November for their European 10th anniversary tour. |

xx-Sep-95 Note: "[Jeffrey] had the music and the melodies. Writing with him was not like writing with anybody else because Jeffrey was very strict, hahaha! It was a pretty serious affair, although he laughed a lot, you know mainly at the wacky things that he would say. [...] I’m sure that none of this stuff he gave me he recorded before… I don’t know if there are any versions of him doing any of this stuff with lyrics or anything. [...] I don’t know, [I did about] four or five [songs with him]. It was just bits and pieces. It wasn’t a whole record. We’re talking about a three-day period of just sitting around. He was getting ready to go to Japan. I was workin’ on a record already. And we just spent three or four days together making home recordings and stuff, on a tape player. Not even a four-track or anything, it was like a Radio Shack tape player. Then he left the day after we were done for Japan. The trip proved fatal because when he came back, that was when he was real sick, and it was shortly thereafter that he passed away." Mark Lanegan interviewed for Stomp and Stammer,2001. |

September/October/November/December 1995 Jarmusch told Libération newpaper in Paris: "These few days revealed the loneliness of this talented man that I saw as someone who had fled the world to take refuge in a foreign metropolis. A year later (sic), he was dying in L.A., where I had gone to visit him, at the beginning of 1996, without knowing he was ill. His approach to the blues, to punk and to country was seminal for many of us - musicians, writers or cineastes. Amazing guy". |

1995 "We actually checked Jeffrey into a rehab/hospital down in Marina Del Rey against his will. Mike Martt [...] and I had to take him down. He was already dying. Our friend Sal [Jenco] who ran the Viper Room said, “Hey, look, I’ve got a doctor in Beverly Hills. I’ll pay for the visit.” We took Jeffrey to this doctor and he gave Jeffrey three months. This was a couple of months before he died. He wanted to go back to Japan because he had fallen in love with a nurse over there. He thought he could go back over there and she would take care of him. One of the problems was that he had been kicked out of the country by the U.S. Consulate. So we checked him into this hospital/rehab and the doctor there said, “Don’t believe what the doctor in Beverly Hills told you about having only three months to live. I can get him over to UCLA Hospital and we can cut him open and have a transplant and give him a new organ. He’ll be all right. I’ll supervise the operation and let the students work on him and we’ll get him back in shape.” And we were totally into that. Jeffrey was angry because the money used to get him into rehab was money that he would have used to fly back to Japan." Keith Morris [Circle Jerks/OFF!] interviewed for Bored Out. |

March 1996 "Jeffrey at one point was dying and I had some free time to hang with my brother and I was watching him die. [..] Jeffrey and I, at one point we were going to start a band. Jeffrey wouldn't do that with just anybody. As many great people as Jeffrey was surrounded by he could have started a band with, he chose me. [..] So he started playing a bunch of songs and I recorded them on a micro cassette player, and part of the music from the eulogy, which is the song 'Jeffrey Lee Pierce', was one of the last riffs he played for me.[..] So he plays the song, I record it (for the OFF! second EP) and I hang out with him up in Salt Lake City at his dad's house. I was up there for about a week and I left and a couple of weeks later he fell over in the bathroom and he was dead."
