The Gay Blades Summer Tour Kicks Off Tonight In NYC

THE GAY BLADES ANNOUNCE US SUMMER TOUR PLANS

"Prepare to have your love defribulated by the raw, garagey sound of these two reprobates, strutting on to our airwaves with more saw-riffed swagger than a dog with two dicks and cougar's yowl. Clark Westfield and Puppy Mills are bad, bad men, and we love 'em" –NME

After nearly a year of touring in support of their 2008 debut Ghosts, The Gay Blades are returning to the US for a summer tour with Ace Enders and will be playing at the Bowery Ballroom TONIGHT with Spinnerette. The band is finishing off their summer with the European festival circuit before heading into the studio to begin recording the follow-up to their 4Never/Triple Crown debut.

The Gay Blades recently headlined Nylon Magazine’s Spring Fashion Event at Bloomingdales in NYC and just wrapped up a string of UK shows, playing with artists such as Cursive, White Denim, Air France and Juliet Lewis. The band also just premiered the video for “N.H.D.N.” on NME.com, which can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWM6mP3wSTY

The Gay Blades are a two piece from New York City and play an acerbic brand of Trash Pop. What is Trash Pop, you ask? Trash pop is what happens when two keenly observant wannabe hipsters write and record songs the same pair couldn't possibly pull off live, and make up for their missing bass player with consistent TNT like performances and a heaping spoonful of swagger. Clark Westfield plays the guitar and Puppy Mills plays the drums.
