THE GUN CLUB's 'John Hardy' has been immortalised in a new CGI video.
The song, which featured on the legendary band's 1982 album Miami album, produced by Blondie's Chris Stein, soundtracks the animated video created by Paris-based CG artists Laurent Mercier and Cédric Bernard of Callicore Productions and was co-produced by Jacqui Pierce, sister of Gun Club mainman Jeffrey Lee Pierce.
A traditional song, 'John Hardy' is based on the true story of a 19th Century railwaymen who killed someone in a drunken dispute during a craps game near Keystone, West Virginia and was later hanged for the murder.
Miami was one of two major label album releases for the band, released through Stein's Animal imprint of Chrysalis Records and followed two years later by Las Vegas Story.
