Black Lips: Wildmen In Action DVD

black lipsI love this band - so does everyone who likes their rocknroll bands to actually sound and behave like a rocknroll band, tattoo clichés aside. They play guitar with their dicks until blood, piss in their own mouths, scream, holler, spit, and have a great time playing wicked, garage influenced trash.
They came to my birthday party last year, drank whiskey out of the bowls, asked girls politely if they could suck on their tits, and Cole reportedly got a hand-job on my piano. Good enough for me - although I’m not sure ‘Wild Men in Action’ compensates.
Here, it takes the Black Lips more than half the show to warm up, the sound is quiet and distant, and we don’t ever see the crowd’s reaction to the show. Live, people get booze soaked and bat-shit for them, which forces you to do the same. I mean, they do go through almost everything you’d want to hear, including the film’s peak, “Wildman” where the shit hits the fan and Cole has to apologize for smashing a girl’s head in. Regardless of the DVD seeming a bit balless this band is gonna be huge, and you wouldn’t guess from the Madrid show of ‘05. You get a taste, but crave a mouthful, patiently waiting for the new record :: Black Lips/Wildmen In Action DVD - Munster/Cargo.
