Pitchfork

In case the Black Lips-- Atlanta's touringest band of late-- have managed to elude you on their neverending trek around this globe of ours, why, now you won't even have to stand up from that cushy chair of yours to get in on a little bit (...more) of the live Black Lips action.

Tomorrow, the band cuts loose The Live Sessions EP on iTunes (it's available in the UK today), featuring five Lips gems transposed from stage to screen. The Vice-issued Live Sessions EP is available the world over, so no matter where you rest your rump, you'd best get clickin'.

And what would a good tour document be without a corresponding string of dates? The Black Lips, per usual, have a whole bunch of live engagements lined up, with a Stateside run leading them into a UK jaunt in May. Their next gig oughta be a ball, to say nothing of their appearance at this May's ATP vs. Pitchfork festival.

The Live Sessions EP:

01 Bad Kids
02 I Saw a Ghost (Lean)
03 O Katrina
04 Cold Hands
05 Lock and Key
