Black Lips

Atlanta, Georgia’s the Black Lips hit it big in the music biz last year after being voted the hardest working band at SXSW by the New York Times (performing 12 shows in three days), a television debut on Conan O’Brien and the release of their fifth album Good Bad Not Evil on VICE Records. Next they’re slated to hit the big screen, starring in a film named Let It Be as a fictitious band called the Renegades. No strangers to theatricality, the Black Lips are infamous for live shows that have included on-stage make out sessions and something involving a live chicken, as well as tried and true antics like nudity, urination and vomiting. Don’t get your hopes too high though—rumor has it they’ve turned it down a notch or two. The show is at Mohawk Place on Saturday (March 8) with Black Lips’ guests Quintron & Miss Pussycat and local support from Handsome Jack.
