The Gay Blades Rally for the Kids, Explode Generators -- Exclusive Video

Since releasing the album 'Savages,' New York's the Gay Blades are doing the old post-album release tour in "a fantastic, sweaty, adventurous way -- coast to coast in a 2002 Dodge Conversion van, trying to make friends," singer/guitarist Clark Westfield proudly told Spinner. The day after rallying a SXSW crowd with some megaphone freestyling and blowing up a generator, the Gay Blades let us in on why these notorious live shows set the group apart.

"We went to enough shows and got bored by enough bands just playing," drummer Puppy Mills said. "And I'm a middle child from a broken home," Clark Westfields clarifies. "I'm always set to stun."
