James Rays Gangwar


James Ray is a rock singer and band-leader, best known as a member of Andrew Eldritch's side-project The Sisterhood and for his own band James Ray's Gangwar. He was also a founding member of James Ray and The Performance, The MK Ultra, James Ray & The Longfolk, 4080peru and Black Hearted Riders

As mentioned previously, James Ray contributed vocals to The Sisterhood's 'Gift' EP, which was recorded between The Sisters of Mercy's 'First and Last and Always' and 'Floodland' albums after the departure of Gary Marx (who went off to form Ghost Dance), Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams (both of whom went on to form The Mission). Ray can also been seen "playing" keyboards during the Sisters' Top of the Pops performances promoting songs from 1987's 'Floodland'. 

After The Performance, Ray formed James Ray's Gangwar. Ray was still contracted to Merciful Release for one remaining album, so the band recorded 'Dios Esta De Nuestro Lado', a more aggressive sounding album, still with the southwestern American influence. The album's final track was a cover of Alvin Stardust's "[My] Coo Ca Choo". The opening track, "Rev Rev Lowrider", was released as a single. After this, Gangwar released 'Third Generation' on Surgery Records: it was a much more electronic album, with fewer guitars and a more trance-like feel. In 1997 Gangwar released 'Psychodalek' as a soundtrack to Ray's novella of the same name. [SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA
