Black Lips at Middle East This Saturday, 3/7
The Black Lips bring their fifth full-length album to life in Boston this Saturday at the Middle East Downstairs with Gentlemen Jesse and His Men and Mean Creek. The group published their first two albums on Bomp! Records, but the last two, including their newest, 200 Million Thousand, were published by Vice Records. The Atlanta, Ga., garage band, for lack of a better word, takes no prisoners on its new release, flipping out a raw, howling homage that would do my man Lux proud. With song titles like “Drugs,” “Trapped in a Basement,” and “Big Black Baby Jesus of Today,” it’s witty toilet-bowl NYC cool-as-shit rock, with a couple sweet Underground-ish ditties to balance it all out. No garage needed.
Presented by MySpace Music. 9pm/18+/$12.
