The Gay Blades

Gepostet von MZ unter 8:00 AM





















The Gay Blades are a unsigned two-man group out of NYC.
Clark Westfield a.k.a. The Aristocrat Of Crime (Guitarist/Vocalist) and Puppy Mills a.k.a. The Snitch (Drummer) released their debut album "Ghosts", a swaggering, strident record with a classic rock vibe and indie credibility to spare. I mean they are so indie they don't even have an offical Website, their only web presence is on MySpace.
Though Westfield's vocal style is quiet punky he gives of an emotional energy that matches the mood of each song. He sums, croons, shouts and wails but always sounds appropriate.
The Gay Blades’s in-your-face rock is always cool, always impressively arranged, and always entertaining.

Check out this video I shot at their Feb. 2008 show @ Mercury Lounge, NYC
