Gun. From Munster, Indiana. Gun plays Garage/Punk/Blues tinged songs. Gun sort of sounds like The Sonics, and The Black Keys, and The Cramps, but then again, not really. Gun mixes rum and whiskey together (“along with some other shit”) and drinks it. Gun calls it “Riskey”. Gun has had 11 drummers over the years. Gun has an affinity for “shitty speed”. That might be something they use to describe their music. Or they’re talking about drugs. Maybe both. Gun plays their music live. Gun shows are unforgettable. Gun.

James Godwin quietly scribbled things on paper bits while touring U.S. and Europe as the bass player for Jack Oblivian and John Paul Keith. He cautiously started playing them live as a member of the short lived New Mary Jane, which featured 1/2 of Memphis Rock legends The Grifters. During a bumpy and not well remembered summer of 2012 he began recording a batch of songs on a busted up 4 track along with friends/ musicians extraordinaire John Argroves and Dave Shouse. Those songs would become the first Ultrasounds ep “Lovers and Ghosts’, which cost about $30 to make, and sounds as if a cat is trying to claw it’s way out of your speakers.

After about a year of standing around and smoking cigarettes with friend and Memphis guitarist Luke White, the two finally set up a rehearsal with Argroves on drums, and local artist/musician David Johnson on bass.

After a year of shows and writing new songs under their belts, James and The Ultrasounds enter the studio in March to record the follow up to Lovers and Ghosts, with Memphis musicman/media darling Mark Edgar Stuart behind the board, making sure the band doesn’t stink up the joint.
