New York - Black Lips Again Tonight

By viceland

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.
