About

BLACK LIPS IN CONCERT:

Atlanta's Black Lips are masters of barn-burning garage rock, combining the jangly insouciance of lo-fi and the infinite attitude of first wave punk to arrive at a singular swamp-garage sound.  The frenetic energy of their recordings is surpassed only by their antic-filled live shows, where fans mosh with reckless abandon to tightly wound nuggets like "Family Tree" and the band performs an endless variety of crowd-pleasing lewd stunts. Hot on the heels of their seventh album Underneath the Rainbow, the band will treat fans to another string of deliciously bawdy shows on their 2014 North American tour.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Formed in Georgia in 1999, Black Lips have been thumbing their noses from the get-go, only intensifying their anarchic behavior after guitarist Cole Alexander and bassist Jared Swilley were kicked out of high school for constituting a "subculture danger" in a post-Columbine world. Over the course of several helter-skelter early albums, the band honed their unique sound while learning to actually play their instruments, building a considerable reputation with their bawdy on-stage antics and use of props ranging from fireworks to live chickens. For their sixth studio album Arabia Mountain (2011), the band teamed up with famed producer Mark Ronson, resulting in just enough polish to woo critics and land the record on several year-end lists. Following the early-2014 release of their seventh album Underneath the Rainbow, the band hit the road for another rollicking North American tour.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"The floor was pulsating from the dancing. Cole threw his guitar into the crowd at the end. I went stage diving, as did a number of other folks...It was a great show!"

"I was blown away. such a rad vibe from everyone. Black Lips you are flipping glorious."

"Best show I've seen in a long time. So much energy and fun. You could tell the band was having as much fun as the crowd."

    Atlanta garage punk at its finest.

    by ThefakeDrjohn on 11/5/15Variety Playhouse - Atlanta

    If you don't know who the black lips are then you should really check them out. I saw them in Atlanta on Halloween. So it was a homecoming of sorts. As soon as the band started the whole crowed went into a frenzy of moshing, crowd surfing, and beer throwing. The band was on top of everything and the crowd was loving it. By the end of the show I was covered head to toe in sweat, beer, and confetti smiling ear to ear. In my opinion that's how every punk rock show should be. I plan on seeing them every time they are in town from here on out.

    In Maine, you may not want "thank Boston!"

    by JLaurenS on 9/30/14Port City Music Hall - Portland

    My husband and I were excited to see Black Lips and the music was good. However, each time they stopped playing and one of them opened their mouth to speak they noticeably lost more and more of the audience. Saying things like "I've had better lobster in Kansas", "I've never been this far north" followed by "are there any other hicks in the audience" was bad enough. Thanking Boston while in Portland Maine....okay, it happens. It wouldn't be the first time I've heard of an entertainer not knowing where they are. But, not giving a damn to say sorry and recover from that....no way. These guys came off as rude and inconsiderate and for that I won't go see them again. Hey, the music isn't THAT great. Not anymore.

    Amazing show

    by Garagerocker on 9/24/14A and R Music Bar - Columbus

    I've seen King Khan and his Shrines twice before, this was first time seeing him and bbq show together, it was magical, I wouldn't trade those moments for anything, King Khan is easily my favorite person alive right now. he and anyone hes involved with is a maniac, its fantastical. The black lips put on an incredible show as well for my first time and its guaranteed that won't be the last. The Venue was small and tough, nice deck area. All around solid performances from all. Then for the encore, their superband the Allmighty Defenders came out and destroyed us some more! So amazing.

    Black Lips kickass!

    by nycrockchick on 4/22/14Webster Hall - New York

    Great, high energy show and fun moshing audience. Too bad the venue made them start and end early, but definitely no complaints about the band.

    Black Lips

    by rathbman on 4/22/14Paradise Rock Club - Boston

    Overall, great show. The opener, Natural Child, was good, but nothing I was going crazy for. Their music was great for opening for the Black Lips I think, but it was obvious that the band had a long night the night before and that they were a little tired. Black Lips delivered though. Great set all the way through, very energetic, made for a great time in the audience.
