India Hates The Black Lips


i saw Slumdog Millionaire this weekend. it fucking rules and is worthy of all the awards and press it's getting. ironically at the same time i was seeing a movie about how shitty it is to grow up in the Mumbai slums, Atlanta's own Black Lips were in India getting their asses run out of the country!

they've come a long way from that time i booked them at the 40 Watt and they got banned for trying to set their drums on fire, but they're still a bunch of punkass kids who like to start trouble. i hope they made it out alive, as they are one of the only about 4 bands from the state of Georgia who are worth a shit.

No fire in the 40 Watt, motherfucker. and no getting naked and kissing dudes on stage in India, either.
