The Gay Blades - Creekside Lounge, SXSW, Austin TX - March 18, 2009

[from New Jersey] 12:30pm on a very hot patio. Free Lone Stars and Pabst. Lead singer in a long-sleeved red underwear-shirt must have been miserably hot. Once they spoke, I turned to group and said, confidently, “They’re not from America!” WomanInCharge scoffed and said, “Please, they’re from the South – that’s still America.” They were from New Jersey. Just a guitarist/singer and a drummer. Energetic, enthusiastic hard rock. Sometimes post-grunge but best moments were metal-infused. Some rap vocalizing. Liked them. They seemed like regular guys.
