Black Lips - Emo's (outside), Austin TX - October 8, 2010
[from Atlanta, GA] I had
never heard a lick of music from this band before the show but it was love at
first sight – everyone else I ran into before this show had seen them like 5
times and had stories about spitting on the crowd, spitting into each others’
mouths, and kissing each other – I didn’t see any of that but they did have tribal
drums, tight jangle pop guitar, and a punk ethic – some spaghetti western and
even hints of O’Death – bit of psychedelia – some surf rock - they were pretty
much The Strange Boys (local) perfected - like being in a Robert Rodriguez
movie – some of their songs were more rowdy pop punk (like Redd Kross, as
Rockboy pointed out) – the building was so moved that the Emo’s employee who
was trying to stop the crowd surfers ended up giving up and jumping in himself. (Photo courtesy https://www.flickr.com/photos/77538247@N06/7210854678/)
