Black Lips’ Fall Plans

With a sold-out spring tour behind them, the Black Lips’ tour bus will rack up even more miles as the band continues its travels in support of Under The Rainbow released earlier this year.

There’s a shared history between Black Lips and King Khan & BBQ Show.  KK & BBQ supported Black Lips on the band’s first European tour and members of both groups formed the psych-gospel sextet The Almighty Defenders in 2009.

While you’re waiting for the fall Black Lips tour, the band does have a few U.S. gigs coming up a bit sooner.  While mostly filled with Euro dates, the summer itinerary includes Nashville’s Exit / In July 17; Forecastle Festival in Louisville July 18 and Asheville, N.C., at the Orange Peel July 19.  Black Lips will also appear at the Meltasia Music Festival in Lafayette, Ga., Sept. 6.
