The Gay Blades had a very good 2010. The “trash pop” duo of Puppy Mills and Clark Westfield followed up their debut album with the stunningly bad ass Savages, putting them in position to make 2011 even better. So, in obvious band fashion, The Gay Blades are hitting the road for a short tour, including four stops at SXSW. But that’s not all – they released a new video. Check it out the video for “Rock N’ Roll (Part 1)” here.
