Gallon Drunk – Solitaire
Biography
London, United Kingdom (Formed in 1988 – present)
Formed in 1988, John Peel admired them, stating: “They don’t sound like anyone else.” Nick Cave said: “Gallon Drunk? Cool as fuck.”
The new Gallon Drunk album, THE ROAD GETS DARKER FROM HERE, will be released 7 May 2012 (UK) and 10 August 2012 (EU) on the Clouds Hill Records label. A new 7” single (vinyl), YOU MADE ME, will be released 16 April 2012 (UK only), including a new video.
A UK tour is scheduled for April 2012 with EU dates to be announced. Gallon Drunk also continues to tour with Lydia Lunch in their collaborative project, Big Sexy Noise.
Their extensive discography (see below) began with their 1988 self-released 7-inch single, “Snakepit/Please Give Me Something”, through to their most recent album, 2007’s The Rotten Mile. Their 1993 album From The Heart Of Town was nominated for a Mercury Prize.
James Johnston was also a guitarist with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (2003—2008), joining them for their Lollapalooza tour in 1994.
James Johnston, Michael Delanian and Joe Byfield formed the original line-up.

I clearance-binned 'You, the Night...and The Music' CD a few years ago and it was unexpectedly good. This is all I have heard from them.

Such a cunning description they have. When all those artists are mentioned here, I just couldn't stay indifferent to this band.

James Johnson also now plays guitar with the mighty Faust. Saw him with them a couple of nights ago, and he can still shred that guitar!!!
