Self-described "flower-punk" rockers the Black Lips, whose live shows are a thing of legend, are doing an instore concert at the Berkeley Amoeba Music Friday Feb 8th, at 6:30PM.

And my strong advice is, if at all possible, get yer ass over to the Telegraph Ave. store for this great opportunity to see this amazing Atlanta, GA band up close and personal deliver (for free) their familiar yet totally unique sound - a raw supercharged blend of retro garage rcok, punk, blues, country, and more.

Their live shows have become a thing of legend because of their raw energy onstage and their crazy unpredictable rock'n'roll behavior  which to date has included such things as band members kissing, getting naked, vomiting, and urinating - to name but a few of their bad boy antics - all of which have rightfully earned the Black Lips' live shows such a reputation that some fans just show up to witness whatever wildness might unfold.

But considering they will be performing in a store maybe they will tone it down. But then maybe not. They don't even know.  But what is sure is that the music will be kick ass. So  just be sure show up at Amoeba Berkeley at 6:30PM (earlier to get a good spot).
