All Tomorrow's Parties Consider Black Lips "Assholes"

It looks like Black Lips won't play All Tomorrow's Parties again.

Festival organizers Barry Hogan and Deborah Kee Higgins had less than kind things to say about the Atlanta garage rock quartet in a recent interview with the Village Voice.

"We have a 'No Assholes' policy," Higgins said. "You can play once because we don't know you're an asshole, but you can't play twice."

Hogan went on to say that Butthole Surfers and Killing Joke were also not welcome at the festival anymore, adding they could "suck my balls. And you can put that in print" before he went off on the Black Lips, who played All Tomorrow's Parties in Minehead, England last year.

"The Black Lips will never play again — they're assholes. They broke into a chalet and started stealing stuff."

"Liquor," Higgins interjected.

This isn't the first time Black Lips have been booted from or banned from playing something. They fled India earlier this year when they were accused of indecent exposure during a show in Chennai. They are regularly ejected from clubs because of their live shows, which have included vomiting, urination, nudity and other antics.

Black Lips have these shows lined up in support of this year's 200 Million Thousand:

Sept. 25 New York, NY @ Roseland Ballroom
Oct. 9 Austin, TX @ Mohawk
Oct. 28 Asheville, NC @ Orange Peel
Oct. 29 Nashville, TN @ Mercy Lounge
Oct. 30 Memphis, TN @ Young Ave. Deli
