(PR) 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. 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 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.
