Gypsy Lee Pistolero states: “Welcome to the Church of the Pistoleros. Come and take my hand, all you beautiful weirdos, for the lost, the strange, and the ne’er-do-wells! This is a call to all the misfits and outcasts, to stand up and join us and be proud to be different. Join the New Church”

‘Church of the Pistoleros’ is a call to the lost, the strange and the beautiful weirdos!
This single marks the first release from their groundbreaking album, Welcome to the Church of the Pistoleros, set for release in early 2025 and which will also be available for pre-sale the same day through Earache Records. Cargo Records will distribute the physical album on CD & Vinyl via HMV & all good Indie Record Stores.

The album, recorded at the renowned Old Cider Press Studios in Pershore, is produced and co-written by the legendary Dave Draper, whose credits include work with Ginger Wildheart, Nickelback, The Professionals and Terrorvision etc. Draper has described Welcome to the Church of the Pistoleros as “a total monster” and one of the best projects he’s ever worked on.

This album is a rallying cry to the outcasts, the misunderstood, the shy, the quiet and disenfranchised of Society! A place where they are welcome! Gypsy Pistoleros are a band that refuses to conform. Proudly walking their own path, their music is a rallying cry for misfits everywhere. With a sound that defies traditional genres, Gypsy Pistoleros stand as one of the most unique and innovative acts in the world of rock music today.

Gypsy Pistoleros’ sound spans a vast musical landscape—from 1950s Phil Spector-esque ballads to high-energy glam punk and Latin-infused rock, creating a sonic experience that is truly unmatched. Fusing anthemic rock, Latin swagger, glam punk, and even elements of goth and emo, their music is a celebration of the unconventional.

‘Church of the Pistoleros‘ will be available from https://earache.com/collections/gypsy-pistoleros
in a grand and epic choice of bundles.
The Album will be available Instore at HMV & Indie Record stores via https://cargorecords.co.uk/
in a different Limited black, red and white splatter Vinyl version.
A separate CD & Vinyl release for Australia & New Zealand will be released by Golden Robot records.

BACKGROUND

Gypsy Pistoleros are no strangers to the rock scene. Since their formation, they have shared stages with icons such as The Ramones, Motörhead, L.A. Guns, Faster Pussycat, Poison, Ratt, ZZ Top, Papa Roach, and Twisted Sister, amongst many others, building a devoted following in the U.S. and U.K. alike. The band, led by Gypsy Lee Pistolero, is known for their fiery live performances and eclectic mix of sounds, which combine the raw edge of punk rock with Latin rhythms and glam rock theatrics.

In 2020, Gypsy Lee Pistolero returned to the music world after a hiatus, bringing a matured yet electrifying energy to the stage. With two successful albums under their belt since their comeback, the band is now poised to make their biggest impact yet with Welcome to the Church of the Pistoleros. To celebrate the release, Gypsy Pistoleros will be embarking on their ‘Welcome to the Church of the Pistoleros’ UK Tour 2025.
