My buddy Kid Congo Powers, of Gun Club/The Cramps/Congo Norvell/The Bad Seeds, etc., posted an item in his MySpace blog late last night that has me seriously thinking about jumping on a plane to L.A.. It seems that tomorrow, Thursday, June 29, as part of the Don’t Knock The Rock 2006 film festival, Kid, guitarist Ward Dotson, and drummer Terry Graham are playing a single Gun Club reunion show after the opening night screening of the Gun Club/Jeffrey Lee Pierce documentary Ghost on the Highway.

But who is filling in for long-gone Jeffrey? Here’s what Kid disclosed, following “band practice” last night (emphases mine):

Thalia Zedek (whom you know from her solo records, and COME and LIVE SKULL before that) is singing and I am so honered and thrilled and she is doing a most amazing job. Now I am really excited. I can tell you I had some trepidation about doing this at all, it really didn’t appeal to me to do a “reunion” with out Jeffrey (which means I figured it “impossible” ) but I have changed my mind. This is really a one off for me, so i plan to enjoy it.

He goes on to say that they are performing ten songs, just from the first three albums (Fire of Love, Miami, and Las Vegas Story). For the love of God, Kid, make a soundboard recording and make it available to Gun Club (and Thalia Zedek) fans who can’t make it!
