Already headed to Australia to play Geelong's Tent Pole Festival, American underground heroes Black Lips have added a national run of shows.
Eight years (and three studio albums) since they last ventured down under, the garage-rock provocateurs will headline shows in Melbourne, Wollongong, Sydney, Brisbane, and Fremantle.Black Lips most recent record is 2022's 'Apocalypse Love' that features 'a playlist that bends between tub thumping doom-glam, Plastic Ono sing-alongs, cocktail-shaken space-age pop, estranged honky tonk and lo-fi outsider acoustic-punk'.
"We had to be in a band, to play live. We had no idea how to record. In the beginning we simulated our live shows, the recording was like being inside a smoky club. I think a lot of people thought we were trying to be intentionally lo-fi, that wasn't the case," vocalist, bassist Jared Swilley says.
Tickets are on sale.
