The garagey, bluesy punk rock group return to One Eyed Jacks with new album, Good Bad Not Evil, to be released on September 11th.
“One of the best live bands in America”—Rolling Stone Magazine
Already infamous for their endless touring and frenetic live shows, Black Lips are proud to announce their fifth album, entitled Good Bad Not Evil. Produced by the band in their hometown of Atlanta, the album was recorded with the assistance of friend Ed Rawls. Ranging from dirty psychedelic blues songs about Holy World War III ("Veni Vidi Vici") to outright pop hits like "O Katrina" (written the night the band found out that the hurricane of the same name had devastated New Orleans) and "Bad Kids" (based on certain band members' experiences with juvenile detention centers), Black Lips masterfully reference the tradition of energetic abandon that begun with bands such as Los Saicos and the 13th Floor Elevators while displaying a sincere personality uniquely their own.
Widely recognized as the reigning kings of today's psychedelic garage rock underground, Black Lips have spent the better part of their formative years touring the world and leaving a trail of mayhem in their wake. Their days of vomit, blood, and urine filled live shows behind them, Black Lips have emerged grizzled garage rock veterans, prompting the New York Times to feature them as the "hardest working band at SXSW" this year. Their dogged work ethic continues as they tour North America throughout September and October.
