Hello Friends!
Below is a concert review from my intern Angela Lee. I thought it would be worth sharing with you all. We hope to be bringing more reviews and current news in the weeks to come.

Black Lips Live
@ Brooklyn Music Hall
Brooklyn, NY
I had Huge Expectations for this show. Note the terrifying, hilarious shit show that went down: Black Lips' Letter to India. (Has anyone else seen Locked Up Abroad?) Who else would you expect to get reprimanded by Indian polizei and flee the country?? Let's Wrestle and Gentleman Jesse & His Men opened for them, but let's be honest, they're a distant memory now because they were completely eclipsed by the wonderfully dirty southern garage rockabilly that are the Black Lips.
No pissing in mouths, nudity, fireworks, broken bottles, or band members making out this time. Just some beautifully sensuous guitar-licking, repeated vomiting by the sombreroed Cole Alexander while performing (didn't even miss a beat) and copious amounts of crowd surfing. Their records are amazing, and must be experienced live. The band performed a handful of crowd favorites like "Bad Kids" and "Cold Hands" as well as songs from their new album including "Drugs" and "Starting Over."
Let's get to the point: they are redneck gods and I hope they don't die early from their onstage madness and debauchery. They make me want to move south and save up money for gold grills. I couldn't have spent Tuesday night more wisely.
