“Blades…” is a double-live release between Arturo Got The Shaft (Side 1 – Numbers Stations) and howie&scott (Side 2 – a light burning [live 12.OCT.02] ). The two bands teamed up for a massive tour through Nebraska and Kansas in October 2002, known as the (r)ocktober tour. The shows were taped, and the result exclusively released online as an album in mp3-format. The Shaft’s tunes were pulled from many different shows, while the h&s side contains a full set from October 12th at the 13th Street Coffeehouse in Omaha. Side 2.1 includes 4 tunes from other shows too good to leave off the album, including new howie&scott songs “Yes Song” and “S.O.S.”
