Chancellorpink

Six Gun Jury were a popular alternative guitar rock band that played in the city of Pittsburgh, PA from 1986-1990.

Comprised of cousins Mark Urbano (guitar) and Ray McLaughlin (vocals), along with Jim Perry (drums) and Buddy B. (bass), Six Gun Jury wrote springy, post-punk rhythms, with soaring guitars and melodic vocals, influenced by artists such as Joy Division, Gang of Four, The Smiths and The Beatles.

In 1987, Six Gun Jury's songs "All Alone in Rock 'n Roll" and "Chancellor Pink" both finished in the Top 50 songs of the year on WPTS (University of Pittsburgh radio).

In 1988, their song "Climb the Scene" was in regular rotation on WXXP, Pittsburgh's most influential and best loved commercial alternative radio station.

In 1989, Six Gun Jury's only official album, their debut Res Ipsa Loquitur, earned the band 2 nominations at the 1989 In Pittsburgh Music Awards (Album of the Year, Best New Band) and battled for top of the Pittsburgh alternative record charts during the summer of 1989, alongside such heavyweights as Pixies, The Lemonheads and 10,000 Maniacs.

Though breaking up in 1990, members have continued to make music in bands such as Mace, Between the Waters and Chupacabra, with singer Ray McLaughlin recording albums under the moniker Chancellorpink.
