Live Music Best Served Hot . . . and Black

Critics love the Black Lips. You can see it here (Spin Magazine), here (All Music Guide), or even here (Entertainment Weekly). What made them stand out as they first entered the scene at the beginning of the "Aughts" is also what keeps them going. On their latest effort, 200 Million Thousand, Black Lips merge no frills lyrics with the distinctive hippy garage rock sound they are known for.


If you haven't heard Black Lips perform live, here's a taste of what you're missing in "Bad Kids". Also check out 2007's Good Bad Not Evil and 2003's Black Lips! for one of the most distinctive sounds in indie rock today.
