Written by: Laura MelvinPsychobilly, definition: a little rockabilly, a little punk. Rockabilly is rock n’ roll in its infancy, rock and hillbilly, born out of the southern US. It’s blues and country with a hip swinging edge – think Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry. When you mix rockabilly with the balls-to-the-wall punk of the [...]
I’m such a big fan of The Velvet Underground that I almost have no choice when it comes to the modern bands that are so heavily influenced by those nihilist geniuses. ”I’ll Be With You,” is an ode to good old fashioned friendship, and I like it. I went to the premiere of “Man, I Love [...]Related posts:The Black Lips – Starting OverThe Black Lips – Starting OverThe Black Ghosts
There appears to be a trend developing for bands to not only adopt genres of bands from yesteryear, but to recreate their playing style, choice of chords/riffs or even the production techniques so they mirror them down to almost the very last strum or beat. With Atlanta, Georgia’s Black Lips debut they took us screaming [...]

NAME : Black Lips PROGRESS REPORT : Mastering their fifth studio LP, 200 Million Thousand , recorded at their new studio in Decatur, Georgia.Black Lips have been on the grind, going to their office eight hours a day and finishing their new record under inspirational messages ("When the going gets tough, the tough get going." "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.") they've hung on the wall...
A Black Lips concert can get crazy. The band is banned from the famous Athens, GA venue, 40 Watt Club, after lighting their equipment on fire. I thought I even remembered hearing someone tell me that guitarist Cole Alexander strips nude and plays the guitar with his penis, usually leading to his arrest or security calling the show off early. That also happened last night during the band's Londo...
