Mary's Gunns

"Mary's Gunns" go back to the late 90's with Kylan Prince, Wes Sheppard, Corey Bryant and many other fourth and even fifth members under various band names. To make a long story short, after the three boys graduated highschool in 2004, Shaun Arthurs was added to create the balance that was so dearly needed for the three chaps, all of whom were two years his junior. Shortly after his joining, the group went on to try and capture the sound, style, and attitude of what they all thought was authentic Rock n' Roll at it's best. In early '05, they hit the Vancouver Bar Scene. The Picadilly Pub, Buffulo Club, Pub 340, The Asbalt, Cheers, The Standard, The Roxy, The RedRoom and more were at any willing bands finger tips, as well as the Gunns. After a year of playing wherever they were allowed, an opportunity in March '06 called FANWARS arose, hosted mainly at the Buffalo Club. After two rounds and a finale, the band emerged victorious, establishing a name for themselves throughout the lower mainland. Starving for more, an opportunity was offered by White Rock family friend and music enthusiast George MacDonald to help get the band a pro recording in mid '07. The offer was taken seriously by the boys. Proceeding to Mushroom Studios In September that year, the result of a pro recording turned in to a full length debut album. The Band decided on the album name "Smugglers Cabaret", representing an old bar located in the deep south of their hometown of White Rock near the Canada/US border. After extensive gigging in 2008 to promote the album, Mary's Gunns have spent most of 2009 writing, playing shows, honing their craft and mentally preparing to take the summer of 2009 by a hard rocking storm.
