Black Lips at Logan Square Auditorium April 22
More Just Announced
The Black Lips just recorded the album of a lifetime, “by far the best thing we’ve ever done,” as described to NME earlier this year by bassist-vocalist Jared Swilley. Now what? Take those balls and flaunt them—even though most of us have probably already seen them. The raucous Atlanta outfit will embark on a month-long tour starting today in Baltimore, including a stop at Logan Square Auditorium April 22 with Vivian Girls . Fans will have to wait until June, though, to see if the new album actually lives up to the band’s own hype. The Mark Ronson-produced Arabia Mountain is slated for release that same month, though the Black Lips have already released videos for “Modern Art” and “Go Out And Get It” on VBS.tv. There’s not much genitalia in either video, but there is plenty of psychedelic tomfoolery and hooky garage-rock—all staples of classic Black Lips.
