Just when you think you've written the definitive "whew, looks like I won't be writing another Black Lips tour story in a while" Black Lips tour story, the band goes ahead and schedules dates in freakin' May. May, please, we'll all be too busy playing with our new iPhone Minis by then to go out and see live music.

But if for some reason you're not, and you live in the UK or Ireland, you can go to one of these new Black Lips shows in May. If you live anywhere else, Black Lips have plenty of tour dates for you too. Hell, they're probably planning an intergalactic tour at this very moment.

Finally, don't forget that one of Black Lips' May dates is at the ATP vs. Pitchfork festival weekend.
