Black Lips Wanna Take You To Court

That's right. The Black Lips wanna take you on! On a basketball court, that is. It's happening Saturday May 1st at Clark Atlantic College.

They'll be playing and donating their participation fees for the Auditory Verbal Centre Inc, a non-profit organization dedicated to the rehabilitation of deaf children, some of whom have been outfitted with cochlear implants. The Black Lips are challenging you and other bands to play and donate to charity :

So far, takers include rapper/producer Jermaine Dupri and Of Montreal. Think you got what it takes punk?

Black and Blue

The Black Lips. Their myspace lists them as a comedy act but I don't think they are. Actually they sound like they've got the energy of teenagers and the swagger of a garage band who are capable of making alot of noise. They are releasing a new LP 200 Million Thousand on February 24, 2009, a "snotty 14-track celebration of unadorned rock n roll and no-bullshit songwriting".

Black Lips - Starting Over (mp3) (buy)

"Starting Over" is the first track from the new album, and there is a video contest for the video. They're hoping to have million thousand videos made for the song and hopefully, out of that, a good one! The maker of the winning video will have a feature on the homepage of Vimeo.com, and receive a special 7" of LP-standout "Short Fuse," and a signed copy of 200 Million Thousand.
