Black Lips

27 December 2006 :: posted by Travis

I’m pretty much posting the Black Lips only because their press photo has a donkey painted like a zebra. Well not exactly true. They’re the Black Lips and have been owning for a while now. Since “Not A Problem” is off of The Black Lips’ 2005 Let It Bloom, you probably are already familiar with this track. Dark garage chaos… The Black Lips bring a much needed sound that is missing from most popular rock bands these days. Blah, blah, blah.

The Black Lips will be making splashes in ‘07 with their next album coming out on Vice. Sketchy info from Vice:

The result, Los Valentes Del Mundo Nuevo manages to capture the chaos of their live show (they kidnapped a Mariachi band to play with them for fuckssake) and pounds out some of the greatest hits of their past records.

Does that mean the Black Lips “just” re-recorded a bunch of their “old” tracks for a “new” release on Vice? I don’t get it. Whatever, Tijuana is the new Williamsburg.

Love it again for a second time. It sounds better this way.

1. Certainly a must-have for 2007. With a zebra-striped donkey, how can they miss?
