The Gaye Blades (not Gay Blades) (mem. of Black Lips) tonight, Georgiana Starlington residency, LiveFastDie...Dead
by Andrew Frisicano
The Gaye Blades
Retro rock band Georgiana Starlington (which features ex-Black Lips guitarist Jack Hines) kicks off a monthly residency at Bruar Falls in Brooklyn tonight (7/29). Opening up the show will be Atlanta's The Gaye Blades, a group fronted by current Black Lips member Jared Swilley (who is probably still in town since Black Lips played Sunday's Pool Party show). We think it's probably the group's (Gay Blades) NYC debut.
UPDATE: We realized right after posting that Benjamin Jay Womack (Bobby Ubangi) was also a member of the Gaye Blades (and Black Lips) at one time. Ben "passed away on July 1, 2009, following a nine month battle with cancer. B. Jay was 35 at the time of his death." Bradford Cox called him "A great friend and an amazing human being." RIP.
The Gaye Blades appear on the Wild About Jenkem comp put out by Killer Diller Records in 2008. The songs on the record, contributed by bands that include Coconut Coolouts (who played NYC over the weekend), Back C.C.s and Livefastdie (who played their their last show in NYC over the weekend) (see below), are all about jenkem, which, according to Wikipedia, is "a hallucinogenic recreational drug composed of noxious gas formed from fermented human feces. In the early and mid-1990s, several reports stated that Jenkem was being used by Zambian street children." Sounds great! Charles Gaskins, who heads the Killer Diller label, will also be DJing at Bruar Falls tonight (7/29); Bosco Delray rounds out the bill.
LiveFastDie (final show) w/ crazy girl @ Rock Star Bar in Brooklyn - 7/25/09 (VICE)
VICE: Why's Livefastdie breaking up?If the "Gaye Blades" sounds familiar, that might be because...LFD: It's just time to call it a day. Four years is a lot longer than I thought it would go. Weird punk's taken over. Hippy shit. No room left.
The Gay Blades
...there's also an NYC band called The Gay Blades (look no 'E'). That group is currently on tour, so no chance for an awkward confrontation.

I know that guy died and all, and that's sad, but aren't trendy people over this fake-grimey, bad-on-purpose, garage rock scene yet?

haha i'm just laughing at the lfd final show caption "WITH CRAZY GIRL" she pretty much was making that face all night. pretty rad. wonder what lucky bastard brought that one home. i couldn't get enough change together to make it to the gaye show which was a whole 4bux. i'm sure it wouldn't have been the same without BJ.
in response to are people over this scene yet? i'm not sure it has run it's full coarse, just like punk won't go away. these nerds will continue to do their own thing and if you don't like it, don't come.
JENKEM = ANIMAL BYPRODUCT = NOT VEGAN
sorry guys, we'll just have all the fun without ya
if ya want some don't waste your money just get your girlfriend to piss n poo in a bottle and put a condom over it TWO FETISHES AT ONCE, score!
