Black Lips Make Girls Crazy At Free Show

in
By Bianca Marcus (CHARTattack) June 19, 2009 2:30 pm
Black Lips — who are no longer banned from Canada — gave the best performance of Thursday night's NXNE shows at Yonge-Dundas Square. Easily. Even though MC and Fucked Up vocalist Damian "Pink Eyes" Abraham hinted that police could shut down the evening’s festivities, the infamous Black Lips were — surprisingly — on their best...

Black Lips — 200 Million Thousand

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) March 2, 2009 12:34 pm
I'm firmly convinced the Black Lips are the new Stooges. Cole Alexander has the half-stupid, half-lazy (but awesome because you know he doesn't care about how sloppy he sounds) voice of a young Iggy Pop. Much has been written about Black Lips' on-stage antics, and they have the same buzzsaw guitar riffs as Ron Asheton. 200 Million...

Black Lips — Good Bad Not Evil

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) December 18, 2007 4:12 pm
After breaking through earlier in the year with a hear-it-to-believe-it live collection of previously recorded songs, The Black Lips proved they could turn the studio trick with Good Bad Not Evil. The Lips' cleanest recording to date is still full of the same filthy rock that barely-but-thankfully made it through on their first two records....

Black Lips A Do's And Don'ts Bonanza

Black Lips happen to be on Vice Records, and they coincidentally conduct themselves like a living, breathing photo spread that would be right at home in the free, glossy mag. Uncoincidentally, they attracted a crowd on Sunday night at the Horseshoe that comprises Vice's target demographic/subject matter. With that in mind, Chart has compiled a...

Black Lips — Los Valientes Del Mundo Nuevo

in
By Angela Kozak (CHARTattack) February 20, 2007 11:43 am
Black Lips have done the unthinkable on their Vice debut — they recorded it live at a Tijuana bar. More surprising is that it works. The frenetic atmosphere of the show is a perfect sounding board for the band's shambolic trademark punk. The choppy riffs and guttural vocals on "Stranger" sound like something off a 101ers demo, while the...

Survey Says: Muse's "Hysteria" has the best bassline of all time

in
By Natalia Buia (CHARTattack) October 31, 2011 4:37 pm
A poll conducted on Music Radar has found the best bassline of all time. And the wiener is: That's "Hysteria" by Muse, which claimed the number one spot, followed by Rush’s "YYZ" in second and Queen’s "Another One Bites the Dust" in third. It's a pretty rock-n-roll heavy list, as you can imagine. The bassist of the alternative-classical-...

Video Of The Day: Black Lips' "New Direction"

The Black Lips are high-flying, instrument-wielding superheroes in their video for "New Direction," which finds Jared Swilley, Cole Alexander, Ian Saint Pe and Joe Bradley goofing off in front of a blue screen. There's beer-spitting, jumping, gobs falling from the sky and, um, floating amplifiers. "New Direction" appears on the recently released...

Black Lips — Arabia Mountain

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) June 9, 2011 4:39 pm
I already pictured the Black Lips as one of the most disgusting bands on the planet because of all their on stage antics involving various combinations of urine, vomit, nudity and, um, a chicken. They're pretty much G.G. Allin's spiritual descendents, and Arabia Mountain only solidifies that for me. Now we've got stories of eating maggot-riddled...

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) May 17, 2011 4:17 pm
Here's the second single from Black Lips' Arabia Mountain album, which comes out June 7. Like first single "Modern Art," it's a short burst of druggy garage rock, but it's a bit more inspired by '50s production and also has a chorus and harmonies that recall The Kinks.As PG as this tune seems, it's not impossible to imagine the Black Lips spitting...

Song Of The Day: Black Lips' "Modern Art"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) May 3, 2011 12:47 pm
Black Lips' sixth studio album, Arabia Mountain, comes out June 7, and "Modern Art" is its first single. The Jared Swilley-penned tune is really brief and is just barely over two minutes, but that doesn't mean it's not worth a listen. It shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody that the Black Lips are once again on about drug use in the song's...

Why are there chickens in this Black Lips video? Why is there purple haze? Why are there weird, hallucinatory things flying at the camera?Why do I have the feeling the only answer to those three questions is "drugs"?"Modern Art" will appear on Black Lips' Arabia Mountain album, which comes out June 7.
