Unabashed rock duo The Gay Blades are currently on tour with Detroit's own Electric Six and Millions of Brazillians. They will be documenting their six-week trek across the U.S. in support of their debut album, 'Ghosts,' with webisodes all along the way.

As with all relationships, sometimes people go together like oil and water, and sometimes ineffable bonds form. We have just begun a six-week U.S. tour with Detroit roustabouts Electric Six, and much like the first week of classes in a new school, we are just trying not to make fools of ourselves.
