New Live Black Lips - "Lock & Key"

Black Lips are one of those bands best experienced live, but if the real-life sweat 'n' booty shaking's not possible, hows about diggin' into a recording of a live performance? Even if you're answer was no, here's a recording from the Hotlanta quartet recorded at Amoeba in Hollywood this past July. Swampy!

Black Lips - "Lock & Key (Live)" (MP3)

More of a visual person? We've got you covered, too.

Head to amoeba.com, dare you, and come dancin' to 36 minutes of mustache popping, camaloflauge tees, short shorts, and some in-store crowd interaction. Hate in-store crowd interaction? Picky, picky, but hey ... here's "O Katrina!" audience free.

Good Bad Not Evil is out now on Vice.

A few friends of mine know these guys from their younger days in Dunwoody (minus Ian of course). They're apparently still self-important pricks....but kids, their live show is worth seeing!

i saw this band live sometime in march and honestly i didn't see what the big deal was

they were good, but the band they were opening for blew them out of the water in both live energy and music
