The last Black Lips show at Dante's in Portland resulted in some black eyes and at least one arrest. Tuesday night's festivities at Dante's never quite erupted into fisticuffs, but that didn't mean fans of the scrappy rock quartet were any less batshit thrilled to see their beloved Black Lips.

The Lips returned the love, too, doubling up their PDX gigs with an afternoon performance at Jackpot Records (to the best of our knowledge, nothing was broken). That Lips lovin' knows no bounds, and Cole, Jared, Ian, and Joe will continue to spread it across the U.S. through late March, and-- provided they can secure a visa for that love-- in the UK and Ireland come May.
