Are Gypsy Pistoleros set to release the greatest rock cover version since Alien Ant Farm’s, Smooth Criminal, or Cilla Blacks version of ‘Eye of the Tiger’?
They take it to a whole new level with a reworking of the world famous iconic Dexy’s Midnight Runners classic “Come on Eileen” It’s out now via Earache Records
“It’s the ultimate rock therapy! We aim to reclaim a song that has seeped into the world’s consciousness and fabric through drunken wedding, Xmas, birthday, hen & stag parties, etc. With all the messed-up memories associated with loads of them. We are going to rewrite history with an updated cracker. Wipe the slate clean!
Plus, you can understand the words in our version. Nearly” – Lee.
This single is taken from the brand-new forthcoming genre defining album ‘Duende a Go Go Loco!’ Released Friday 3rd November.
‘Duende a Go Go Loco’ has been recorded, mixed, and produced by fast-rising legend Dave Draper (The Wildhearts, Nickleback, Kerbdog, Terrorvision) at The Old Cider Press Studios, Pershore. The full album Digital/CD & Vinyl packages are out November 3rd.
Gypsy Lee Pistolero: We played ‘Come on Eileen’ for the first time at a recent HRH Festival, and the crowd went nuts. Some critic had called us the Dexy’s Midnight Runners of Rock. We decided, let’s own it. We had to release it; the reaction was that ridiculous.
