Black Lips Do New "O Katrina" Live Video, Guerrilla Marketing

We know (or think we know) what you're thinking: Who needs another "O Katrina" video, live or otherwise? Well, have you ever seen one with a short, wide, and bizarre aspect ratio with four angles at once? Didn't think so.

It was recorded at Emo's down in Austin, though as far we can tell, dudes aren't playing SXSW this year. Maybe they're too busy with their show-by-show guerrilla marketing campaign. You be the judge...

Yeah, those must've taken awhile. Very Adbusters. But they're actual ads, for a show at the Bowery Ballroom. Now, that's not very culture jam-y. (As Copyranter points out, they scribbled 3/11 on a few of the posters, though the show's actually tonight, 3/10.)

I went to the Black Lips show in DC on the Saturday of St. Patrick's Day weekend. In addition to an incredible set of originals, they covered "Five & Ten" by Link Wray and "Too Much in Love" by the King Khan and BBQ Show and ended with Chuck Berry's "Too Much Monkey Business." Needless to say, it was a great show and I got so drunk I passed out on the subway on the way home.
