A scheduled recording session for Tex & the Horseheads, the band Jeffrey Lee Pierce had put together around his girlfriend Linda/Texacala Jones was going to go unused. So the Gun Club filled the booking and recorded the Death Party EP with a bassist called Jimmy Joe Uliana who was a friend of Dee Pop's. Patricia Morrison was the Gun Club's bassist at the time, but didn't play on the EP because of the recording session's spur of the moment nature.[3]
Death Party was produced by Chris Stein, although he came to the sessions after most of the recordings were completed.
