About Me

Elston Gun is Dan Rainey (Slaps), Hayden James (Skins), Jesse Aston (Licks) and Seamus Johnson (Pipes). If you can imagine that The Kings of Leon and the Queens of the Stone Age rule the magical kingdom of Party, but they are constantly being attacked from the north by The Bronx and The Black Keys. So, to settle it out, they all converge on a haunted battleground occupied by the ghosts of Jimi Hendrix, Howlinâ€™ Wolf and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Here, a bloody battle ensues. Harmonic blades frantically stab and slice, and melody swirls in the air, until all that is left is a thin, fresh vapour of intertwined sound.Thatâ€™s kind of what we sound like.
