Planet Rock Winters End Festival "one of the hardest things to achieve in music – a unique sound" - Steve BeeBee Planet Rock
HARD ROCK HELL Festival "Gypsy Pistoleros – absolute hands down set of the weekend for me, what a stage presence, what a performance, what a set! the impact on stage is instantaneous and electric.
They are unique, completely unique, never have I heard such a blend of styles merge so successfully that you’d struggle to label it (don’t bother trying) but the set is blistering" - Karen Clayton
"I’m not totally sure I get what they’re doing, described as “Flamenco, Sleaze, Glam” it just seems like a random mash-up of genre styles to me. That all changed on the HRH stage today. Gypsy Pistoleros came to lay waste and they did. A well-honed band and loaded with energy and stage presence."

Chuff me. What a performance.
"I love when someone lives up to your expectations, in facts blows em apart and you get butterflies watching em...
This band are so chuffin good. They look the part and the play the part and they bring theatre and magic to the stage. Lee absolutely owned the stage. He knows how to do it. So much experience and a love of what he's doing, I'm smiling now writing about it and thinking back." - Steve Beastie HRH Radio D.J

Gypsy Pistoleros may be best described as being the ideal house band for the fictitious Titty Twister bar of Rodriguez’s From Dusk Til Dawn. Between the nods to Morricone’s tense, tumbleweed atmospheres and the Gypsy Kings’ manic Mediterranean energy, a New York Dolls raw glam spark and a surplus of prime G ’n’ R attitude!
The sound is flamenco in a head on collision with punk/rock riffs, pounding bass and thrashing drums. The songs span madly in the best rock 'n' roll tradition with big hooks, attitude, and sleaze. Yet those flamenco breaks got into your head and refused to leave - this hybrid rocks.

REVIEWS:
"Imagine the house band from ‘From Dusk Til Dawn’ jamming with (early era) ZZ Top, a youthful Guns ‘N’ Roses and the Gypsy Kings and you get the Gypsy Pistoleros. Latino fuelled punk rock doesn’t get much better than this. ****'." -Review by Jason Ritchie -Get Ready to Rock
"Its catchier than a dose exhumation of the spirit of Joe Strummer, dusts him down, places a Rickenbacker around his still leather jacket clad shoulders and places him at the front of the Dia de la Muerte parade, where he struts and swaggers with all the cool ease of a true troubadour. A party anthem for the undead generation, without a doubt.
"The Mescalito Vampires is the perfected strain of the Pistoleros, just absolutely incindiary, and more infectious than a dirty needle from Sid Vicious, so raw, melodic, and devastatingly beautiful." Andy Thunders Miller DJ Ally Radio
The Pistoleros are a band who live up to their own hype, as they tick all of the boxes they attribute to themselves, and then some, with some of the most infectious, sleaziest, dirtiest, rock ‘n’ roll vibes around, all mixed with enough dust to bury a spaghetti western set several times over.
This may be the perfect soundtrack for a night of blood-drenched debauchery but it also that for glorious summer afternoons, packed to the brim with rambunctious riffs, mellifluous melodies and choruses that will rest in your aural cortexes for days afterwards." - UBER ROCK
"Another deft dose of Latin laced, Mariachi sleaze. A Day of the dead, guillotine theatre with cinematic Morricone pretensions. Contrived, preposterous, irresistible" CLASSIC ROCK, Album review 7/10
“You'll love it i'm sure! The World’s Greatest Flamenco Sleaze Glam Rock ‘N’ Roll band Ever! … now with extra trumpet…” MarkDiggins - The Rockpit 8/10
"The Pistoleros are sheer musical escapism" – Malcolm Yates, Classic Rock Magazine
"Once in a while something special comes along and turns the musical world on its axis and makes you listen to music and lyrics in a totally different way. That something is Gypsy Pistoleros." - WeBleedMusic
"Gypsy Pistoleros are a thrill-a-minute collection of melodic eye-patch swagger that smells of exotic spices and forbidden concubines. The Gypsy Pistoleros sound like Hanoi Rocks, if Hanoi Rocks were sultans and snake charmers." - Sleazegrinder, Classic Rock Magazine
"Gypsy Pistoleros were, and still are, a breath of fresh air. You will never hear another band like this. They are the greatest flamenco sleaze glam band ever." This, actually, is as good as sleaze ever got in the last decade." - Andrew Thorley, Maximum Volume Music
"Gypsy Pistoleros dub themselves "The World's Greatest Flamenco Sleaze Glam Rock 'N' Roll band Ever!" Doesit work? Are you fucking kidding me? When Kris Jones drops the mariachi trumpet, it's on! - Dave Wilks, Beaver Buzz Radio
"Can you imagine Sleaze, Glam, Hard Rock, Punk and some Flamenco rolled into one with a whole lot ofSpanish attitude oozing out it? Imagine no more - The Gypsy Pistoleros will give it all to you, and you will love every minute of it and want to reach for a tequila shot" *****. - Michele Storm Hairspray Heaven
"The Gypsy Pistoleros sound seems to have one underlying function, and that is to bring joy, in this they have succeeded in spades, this is a truly brilliant release and already one of my albums of the year." Review by Martin Granville Jace Media
"This will be my go-to piece of music for escapism, in fiery technicolour, and as all Pistoleros songs do – have me reaching for the dancing shoes and the tequila!" -Rocket Queen Crazy Cowboy

THE GREATEST HITS ALBUM ! GET IT HERE!!!
Gypsy Pistoleros are still something truly unique and interesting in today’s predictable musical landscape. A sound and style that mixed sleazy glam rock with flamenco influences and a shout out to Mexican folklore and Spanish tendencies.
Gypsy Pistoleros may be best described as being the ideal house band for the fictitious Titty Twister bar of Rodriguez’s From Dusk Til Dawn. Between the nods to Morricone’s tense, tumbleweed atmospheres and the Gypsy Kings’ manic Mediterranean energy, a New York Dolls raw glam spark and a surplus of prime G ’n’ R attitude!
The sound is flamenco in a head on collision with punk/rock riffs, pounding bass and thrashing drums. The songs span madly in the best rock 'n' roll tradition with big hooks, attitude, and sleaze. Yet those flamenco breaks got into your head and refused to leave - this hybrid rocks.
This mongrel offspring of fiery flamenco passion and gritty gutter glam, the Gypsy Pistoleros' were born roamin' somewhere between Barcelona and Birmingham, brought into the world to a soundtrack stack-heeled anthems of sleazy ‘70s America. Standing alone in musical ancestry and sum sound, they are one one of those most rare acts who can honestly claim the tag 'unique'
The insane inspiration came from frontman Lee Pistolero GLP, who struck on fusing his roots in the British glam punk circuit to the traditional flamenco/rumba sounds of Spain when living in Zaragoza and supporting Motorhead, The Ramones, Dio, Nazareth, The Cramps, Sepultura and U.F. O during the mid-90s., from stale-beer scented Midlands rock dives, to the majestic Med-coast just upwind of exotic Morocco.
