If you missed the Black Lips’ set last night, or its grand finale in which one of the guy’s from openers Demon’s Claws broke free of the three bouncers who were hauling him outside for flipping onto the stage and set off a fire extinguisher into the crowd-area (which Bowery Ballroom’s fucking $250-photo-pass-or-no-cameras policy sadly kept anyone from catching–also the explanation for the shitty phone-shot at left), you can catch them tonight at the Southpaw tonight again with Be Your Own Pet for $15. We can’t guarantee there’ll be as much audience-based excitement as last night, but we can safely bet the venue staff will not be composed entirely of such high-grade assholes. If you’re broke or don’t like noisiness you can check them out at Academy Records in Williamsburg, where they’ll be doing a free acoustic show starting 6ish. You might have to head early if you plan on seeing Genesis ramble on about his/her tits, though.

This band is fucking terrible. If you like this band, do yourself a favor and check out these other exciting sounds: the garbage disposal, the toilet flushing, babies taking shits. fucking fuck fuck. I had to work at one of their shows once, saw their whole set and it was stupid. Someone steal their van or something. jesus.
oh, and first. fuck you.

You sure spend a lot of time leaving posts on message boards for someone supposedly employed. Also a lot of time getting worked up over a band you supposedly don’t like.

Isn’t stealing their van a bit counter-intuitive if you don’t want them playing here?

I’m from atlanta. I used to see the black lips every where i went.I would be at MJQ, and there they would be dancing up a storm. So Black lips are nothing “special” and “new” to me. Yeah sure they put on a good show but, every day here there is a good show going on, somewhere. Live at Rob’s House is funny.

check out any shitty rock band from the mid 60s that never went anywhere and you find music that sounds exactly like the black lips

yeah, get the teenage shutdown comps instead and listen to the real 60’s punk, not this revivalist fantasia.
