The Gay Blades plan trek across the country

By Alex Young on October 21st, 2008

Still reeling from the excitement of the recent release of their debut album, Ghosts, The Gay Blades have announced plans for a rather extensive U.S. tour. Kicking off with four shows at the CMJ Music Marathon later this week, the trek will mark the first time a number of cities will get a chance to check out the two-piece New York outfit’s unique “trash pop” sound up close and personal - something which is apparently quite worthwhile. Alternative press deems The Gay Blades tune “Oh No” (check out below) “ranks among the best songs the Arctic Monkeys never wrote.”
