Pucker up
You know, for all the Black Lips' reputation for being vomiting, urinating, makeout-crazy, and fireworks-exploding (which may or may not have to do with the kissing) rock 'n roll wildchildren, their music is remarkably, well, tame. Don't get me wrong, the Athens-based quartet have consistently issued albums (including 2007's Good Bad Not Evil) that are all sorts of dancey fun in a dirty blues-meets-dirty '60s garage rock kind of way. But, you know, all of their live-show lore brings to mind Cramps-like danger; perhaps that sort of peeing and puking energy is difficult to recreate in a studio environment.
See for yourself at the Logan Square Auditorium on Saturday, March 1. Hot Machines, Quintron & Miss Pussycat, and the Get Drunk DJs open. Check here for tickets.
