. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Here is a brief history of the band, as taken from our main site, www.blindallez.co.uk . . . . . . . ."The band were formed in the early 1980's by a certain guitarist by the name of Mr Joolz Gizzi. He joined up with vocalist Peter Scallan and recruited bassist Cami Morlotti.The lads started writing and rehearsing accoustically in a bedroom just off Abercromby Street, Calton, Glasgow until they decided it was time to get serious, at which time they started auditioning for new members.Friend and neighbour Chris Bowes was recruited on guitar and all that was left to do was to find an ass kickin drummer.After answering an advert in a local newspaper, Alan Thornton was auditioned for the job of drummer and was promptly asked to join the band.The boys rehearsed and gigged with this line-up for a short while before Chris left the band due to family commitments and the hunt was on for a replacement. The boys hunted high and low for the right man with the right sound.Enter Ian murray, recruited (nicked) from local band Cannes. The line-up was complete.After rehearsing in a dingey, damp studio under a railway arch in the West End of Glasgow, the band started to gig, and gig they did. They played anywhere and everywhere they could get a gig, places such as The Venue-Glasgow, The Preservation Halls-Edinburgh, The Heathery Bar-Wishaw, The Ponda Rosa-Linwood, The Doon Castle-Glasgow, some crappy club in Dundee and, ultimately, in May 1985, the band secured a spot at the Radio Clyde Kelvingrove Rock Festival with such acts as Lion Rampant, Able Ganz, Zero Zero and Glasgow . . . . . . . . and stole the show. Ironic, as, sadly, this was to be the last time Blind Allez were to play together for 21 years, as both Peter and Ian parted company with the band and went to other projects.Ian went on to form local rock outfit 'Five Past Midnight', while Peter joined another local band 'Chasar' before going on to work on a couple of projects with heavy rock monsters 'Samson'.This was, of course, not the end of the band. They went on to recruit Mark Rankin and David Aitken and, after changing the name of the band to Phobia, continued to write new material and play live until, in 1986, they secured a management contract and eventually, in 1987, a recording contract with A&M Records, changed the name of the band to GUN . . . . . . . . and the rest is history!!But now the Boys are back, back to basics and are planning to start gigging on a regular basis. So watch this space, they may be playing a shithole near you . . . ."
