The Black Lips are weird. Like, really, really weird. But they like it that way. Born in Atlanta, the band cranks out humid, twangy guitar rhythms best described as a cross between psychedelic and garage rock.

Prepare for this show like you’d prepare to wade through the bayou—wear protective clothing and don’t be afraid to get a little dirty.
