History Of Guns in the real

In the old days there was loads of gigs... only they weren't really gigs in the sense that people call gigs these days. There was no Bull & Gate in Kentish Town, no Rock City in Nottingham, it was History Of Guns in the back room of various pubs. Once we played a gig in a large rehearsal room (filmed as History Of Guns in an Exalted State). Once we played in a pub car park for a charity day... it was packed when we started, by the time the landlord made us stop there was four people left watching. Del was slumped in a heap, Stagger had thrown his bass guitar across the car park, and the brand new guitarist stopped playing mid-set packed his equipment into his Dad's car and drove away never to speak to us again.
Realising we were only going to age and then die and that history of guns was all we needed to keep us warm and safe when 4am came looking for us, we had to get serious... ok, well not serious exactly, but at least attempt to get our music out to people, accepting all the rejection, humiliation and prostitution that goes with actively promoting a band. We got some actual gigs. Here's the story of them.
