2011 album from the legendary guitarist and former strummer for the Gun Club, the Cramps and others. Kid Congo Powers named his new album Gorilla Rose after the artist/performer. As a teenage boy, Powers met Gorilla Rose in the emerging LA punk scene of the '70s through seminal weirdo band the Screamers. He recalls, 'Gorilla was a close and constant presence and influence on the Screamers and me as a young pup. He was to the Screamers like Bobby Neuwirth was to Dylan: A jester of sorts, sparking many of their great lyric ideas. I still think Gorilla Rose is the most fabulous nom de plume in history. His unsung specter was in my mind a lot last year so I decided to title the album Gorilla Rose to honor his name and bring him into Rock 'n' Roll's ongoing conversation.'
