Black Lips
"Short Fuse"
Playing SUNDAY at: Maxwell's (1039 Washington St., Hoboken)
Get: Tickets | Directions
Over the 10 years that the guys in Black Lips have been playing together, the Southern rockers have managed to build an infamous reputation for their wild live shows. Past performances have included chickens, fireworks, guitars on fire, gross bodily functions, and kissing onstage (after locking lips onstage at a show in Chennai, India, the band fled the city and eventually the country for fear of being arrested for homosexuality). They're also known for playing a tripped-out brand of garage rock that lures fans to their crazy shows. This track blends Southern rock swagger, garage energy and psychedelia with a deranged lyricism. It's exactly the kind of crazy fun that befits Black Lips.
