biography / october 09

The Gay Blades are back in the UK for a third time this year, as part of a brief European festival tour, rolling straight off the back of a month long headline US jaunt.

Having won over the Essex massive at V Festival this summer with their staple hi octane live performance, the band will be teasing a new digital single from their debut album Ghosts. "He She Say" will be released on September 28 on Something In Construction.

The Gay Blades have just been added as main support for Jack's Mannequin. These dates are virtually all sold out.

The band will return in October for a full UK tour, details to be announced soon.
