….because recently I have posted clips from pimps, whores, and now literally “bad kids”. I just heard this again the other day after not having listened to it for probably 8 months and was reminded again of how brilliant the album was. If you don’t have already have it, I strongly recommend you pick up the Black Lips’ “Good Bad Not Evil”. It’s really quite excellent and I have yet to find anyone who it didn’t grow on very quickly - even for those who throwback garage rock isn’t their thing.
Bad Kids by the Black Lips
catchy tune. i keep seeing this guys coming to town, and i keep missing them.
I’m a little scared - I hear their live shows are full of debauchery like the members peeing on people in the crowd type of debauchery. I think that was the significance of the live album from Tijuana of all places.
From wikipedia:
The Black Lips have a reputation for crazy live shows that have included vomiting, urinating, nudity, band members kissing, fireworks, and a chicken. The frequency of the group’s outrageous stage antics has declined, as they claim to have matured “a little bit”. They have slowly built a fanbase that appreciates their energy and style that is a rough mishmash of blues, rock, doo-wop, country, and punk.
Personally, that’s where I draw the line. A band member pees on me, and the show is over because I’m putting someone in the back of an ambulance.
really? i hadn’t heard that. i wouldn’t want gallagher’s watermelon on me, let alone his vomit.
