Atlanta “flower-punk” garageniks Black Lips play Crawdaddy Friday 22nd May- touring their fifth album 200 Million Thousand, released March 16th this year on Vice.

The album has received top marks from pundit and public reaction, being hailed as The Black Lips’ best yet.

“Their music finally catches up with their live-show notoriety. The surf-rock riffs are woozier, the girl-group melodies are brighter, and the in-the-red production channels extra psych-rock paranoia. Better yet, they get plenty of laughs” ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

“the screw-everything aesthetics barely disguise the fact that Black Lips have grown up into top-shelf songwriters” BOSTON GLOBE

“Pithy stompers such as 'Short Fuse' and 'Drugs' tell their own story, but the spooked death rattle of 'The Drop I Hold' is at least proof that the experimental mind-set of 2007's " Good Bad Not Evil" wasn't a one-off.” Q MAGAZINE

“No holds barred, and no pitch-correction in sight, the tracks of 200 Million Thousand shine like diamonds in the rough, warts-and-all” NORIPCORD

“On this album, Black Lips sound just as they are: filthy. It’s an entirely honest statement.” THE ONION AV CLUB

Black Lips will be joined on tour by mostly-girl noise/punk band from Los Angeles MIKA MIKO, and Atlanta garage rockers Gringo Star.

Check out a hilariously messy clip from the Black Lips show in London’s Heaven Club, featuring an excellent crowd surf by bassist Jared Swilley, and culminating in a full-on stage invasion here
