Black Lips might have been a little out tune in Sydney but their musical debauchery trumped everything.
The Black Lips were at their nasty, vandalising best in Melbourne.
"It was always the next step that kept us going."
"Well… I can’t think of any other instances where someone was raped in their own video."
And, they hope to meet our legendary Masters Apprentices frontman Jim Keays
We catch up with Atlanta's favourite punks Black Lips for a chat about their new record.. It's 7am Perth time when my phone rings with an ultra polite conference call man connecting me through to Jared Swilley, the bass-playing party extraordinaire from Atlanta, Gerogia. We are a both a little hazy, I've had like three hours sleep and he is currently driving from one show to the next, in the mountains on his way to Portland. The phone will drop out three times before the interview is done which is tough at the best of times but the state we are both in is making things a touch hard. Fortunately Jared is a lord about the constant drops out and we have a great chat about their latest record Underneath the Rainbow, which has just come out, the truth about SXSW and touring the Middle East. Underneath the Rainbow is the new record, it’s been three years in the making since Arabic Mountain so what’s been happening in the world of Black Lips? Well, we toured a lot. When we go on tour it's no
This is ‘get out of your seat and dance’ music; it is ‘nod your head and stomp your feet’ music.
'Underneath The Rainbow' is out in March
Patrick Carney will produce part of the new record.
