Photo by Arjun S RaviUnsurprisingly, the real story of what happened to the Black Lips in India is way less fun than previously thought. There were no high-speed chases, no gunfights, no arrests. And there wasn't even full-frontal nudity! Just mooning. Boo.Vice has just posted an interview with drummer Joe Bradley , in which he explains the whole thing. Despite having previously claimed that they "had to flee the country of India due to having our whole tour canceled and having to escape being held by police for indecent exposure," it looks like the Black Lips were just being careful, and trying to get away from a shady promoter, when they beat the hell out of the country. (A wise move, perhaps.) Nobody seems to have pressed charges, and the police weren't even involved. But their tour manager sure sounds like an asshole.The Black Lips are currently in Germany, hanging out with King Khan.Read the whole story here.

Strangely timed, yes, but today’s new Black Lips videos features the Lips dudes as corrupt cops in New York. It stars Leo Fitzpatrick — let me clarify that — Johnny Weeks from The Wire and model Janell Shirtcliff. It’s the first Black Lips video we’ve posted since the rather pukey “Fami...

One wondered if, when Black Lips signed up to work with Mark Ronson for Arabia Mountain, the band was maturing, settling down, and focusing on its artwork. I think the new video for “Family Tree” easily dispels that notion — there’s a crucifixion scene (Cole), some Black Lips signature puking, and buckets ...

A couple of years ago, I watched the Wu-Tang legend GZA perform a short set with the Black Lips, and it was, to put things diplomatically, not good. On Fuel TV’s The Daily Habit last night, GZA tried something similar, performing his 1995 classic “Liquid Swords” with Wavves backing him up. Things worked out a [...]
