Atlanta garage punks Black Lips rocked Parish with Gus Baldwin and Death Party
Renewed touring opportunities this year brought the Georgia-based quintet to TV Eye for a two-night engagement. Alexander, Swilley, pedal steel player and guitarist Jeff Clarke, saxophone player Zumi Rosow, and drummer Oakley Munson performed their new and old catalog of unpolished garage rock songs.
Flying toilet paper, a smoking amplifier and a dislocated limb make for a full-on show at Mono tonight with Black Lips, Sweaty Palms and Shredd all truly going for it
