Gman Gig of the Week : Black Lips in Crawdaddy, Dublin
Atlanta, Georgian band Black Lips play the Crawdaddy this Friday and if you are into high energy gigs packed with fun then I seriously checking these lads out.
Their new album, 200 Million Thousand, is their fifth studio album and surprisingly is actually better than their major breakthrough record Good Bad Not Evil which contained the singles O Katrina and Veni Vidi Vici.
However the faint hearted be warned : The Black Lips have a reputation for crazy live shows that have included vomiting, urination, nudity, band members kissing, Power Wheels races, fireworks, a chicken, and flaming guitars.
The frequency of the group’s outrageous stage antics has declined, as they claim to have matured “a little bit”. Regarding these stage antics, the band said:
“People and other bands and club owners can get really mad. We have gotten kicked out of alot [sic] of clubs. Sometimes they want to fight us when it happens. People run away and act scared. But theres nothing to be scared of, its all natural bodily functions. I think it’s funny when people get mad.”
Tickets are very fairly priced at just e15.
I got the album for £2.99 And a free EP with the GZA track on from the site using this code ‘200 000 000 000’ Anyone else get the code from their gigs? The ep is ace!
went to see them at the myspace stage at primavera last weekend and only one of them turned up. said the rest did crazy amounts of drugs last night and he couldnt find them
