The Gun Hoes Release New Song "Melt Machine," and We Like It

Since you (better) dig Thee Oh Sees and Goner Records crew, you're gonna poo yourselves over the Gun Hoes. The Hollywood duo makes fun, straight-up garage psychedelic rock 'n' roll. They just put out a new song, "Melt Machines," and we keep playing it over and over, and for some...

Since you (better) dig Thee Oh Sees and Goner Records crew, you're gonna poo yourselves over the Gun Hoes. The Hollywood duo makes fun, straight-up garage psychedelic rock 'n' roll. They just put out a new song, "Melt Machines," and we keep playing it over and over, and for some reason, our head won't stop with the bouncing. When the Gun Hoes ask in this newest mp3, "Baby please, baby please/Won't you lay on my chest?" the answer is: Well, maybe.

Of any upcoming stuff the band is up to besides this singular release, songwriter Gabe Machismo told us, "I had all these songs written, some of it recorded for our EP we were planning, but I decided to scrap everything and start all over again and do something a little more interesting."

He lost interest in the songs he'd initially been writing after "messing around with different guitar tuning and effects pedals," he says. "That's why it has taken so long for us to release anything new. But I decided to release this new song 'Melt Machine,' since it actually meant something to me. And it's a fun song to play, and all my friends dug it." We dig it. Listen after the jump.

The Gun Hoes will be playing Thursday, May 3, at Churchill's Pub, 5501 NE Second Ave., Miami, and Thursday, May 10, at Electric Pickle, 2826 N. Miami Ave., Miami with Toad Eyes.
