Black Lips Announce Huge 2008 Tour
Photo by Daniel Arnold
Okay, that's it, Black Lips are bored. After a 2007 where they released two records, played countless (and still ongoing!) shows, and lent member Cole Alexander's vocal talents to that Fucked Up holiday seven-inch, you'd think the Atlanta foursome would want to use the beginning of next year to take a break before shooting starts on Let It Be, their upcoming silver screen star vehicle.
But nooooo, instead the band has scheduled a reallyreally big U.S. tour. The new dates start right at the beginning of February, three months before Let It Be kicks off production.
Also on the Lips' plate in May: their appearance at our very own ATP vs. Pitchfork doohickey.
