London October 1986. Close to 2 years after The Gun Club broke up Jeffrey contacts Kid Congo to re-start the band (with Romi Mori and Nick Sanderson [ex-Clock DVA] from his Jeffrey Lee Pierce Quartet) and record a new album. Kid was at the time living in Berlin and had just joined the Bad Seeds in September. |

Jeffrey Lee Pierce (vocals)/ Kid Congo Powers (guitar)/ Romi Mori (bass) and Nick Sanderson (drums). |

|
|
12-Oct-86 Note: Most likely a one-off date, but it's possible that The Gun Club did a few more dates in the UK in October, although Kid was then touring with the Bad Seeds: from 26-Sep-86 (first date in Europe), then the UK and ending in the US (on 02-Nov-86). |

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- 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-Sep-95 Note: Benefit for Travis John Alford. Travis John died in December 1995 of AIDS related causes. Kid interviewed @ newyorknighttrain.com:"We [Congo Norvell] actually played a benefit concert for this friend of mine Travis John Alford. We were raising money for him to make this record ["Lucky Pierre"]. He was a friend of mine who was dying of AIDS and trying to finish this record. So me and L7 and Carla [Bozulich] and the Geraldine Fibbers and The Gun Club and I think even Congo Norvell played. I did double duty. And we made concert and raised a lot of fun and it was really good. And that show went really well." |

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."
