Dirty psychedelic flower punks Black Lips are set to return in May of 2008 for another chaos driven rock n’roll hi-jinx stint around the UK, ending in a soon-to-be-legendary night at the 100 Club.
Released this year on Vice Records, their ‘Good Bad Not Evil’ album reached number 22 in NME’s end of year poll with two tracks – ‘Bad Kids’ and ‘O Katrina!’ featured in the same issue’s Tracks Of The Year poll.
The band have just completed a video for their new single ‘Veni Vici Vidi’ which can be viewed at the following: MySpace.com - Black Lips - ATLANTA, GEORGIA - Psychedelic / Comedy - www.myspace.com/theblacklips
A few facts about the “Veni Vidi Vici” video:
The band found an old super8 camera at a thrift store (or in their grandfathers closet) & decided to make a video themselves. This is DIY.
Oakland Cemetary, where the video was filmed is the cemetary where "Gone With the Wind" author Margaret Mitchell is buried.
The band also filmed a scene at the hotel where Clark Gable stayed for the Atlanta premier of ‘Gone with the Wind’.
In one sequence, the band members operate the camera, filming one another in a mirror. They can be seen in the shot holding the camera (this was intentional).
The Black Lips are Cole Alexander - Vocals & Guitar, Joe Bradley - Vocals & Drums, Jared Swilley - Vocals & Bass and Ian St. Pe – Guitar. Theyreturn to the UK in May 2008 to play the following shows:
