Nu Rave Brain Wave’s utmost favorites, and uber obsession Black Lips are coming back into Los Angeles. It’s purported as more dates in support of their 2009 record, ’200 Million Thousand’, but I have a feeling it’s just because they don’t know how to do anything but tour really. The last time they took a large break from touring, it was like 3 months, and two WHOLE weeks were devoted to recording the record. This time, unlike the last million times they’ve come to LA, they’ll be playing The Detroit Bar, The Glasshouse and The El Rey. Just kidding, those are the venues they always play because there are no good venues in Costa Mesa or Pomona for them to play and because they cannot play the Echoplex in LA anymore and they’re too small for the Fonda and the Fonda sucks.
January 20th – The Detroit Bar, Costa Mesa, CA
January 22nd – The Glasshouse, Pomona, CA
January 23rd – The El Rey Theatre, Los Angeles, CA
Tickets for Detroit Bar are on sale and will probably go quickest, but there will be a special presale for the El Rey show on Thursday, October 5th at 10:00am. If you miss out, you can get tickets to see the Black Lips at the El Rey Theatre on Friday, October 6th at 10:00am and at 12:00pm noon for the Glass House show.
Fuck, I hope they tour the UK again really soon, I can’t fucking stand missing them 6 times in the course of 6 months, it’s completely unacceptable by my standards.
