BLACK LIPS ANNOUNCE TOUR



BLACK LIPS ANNOUNCE US TOUR, UNVEIL COVER ART FOR NEW ALBUM

DATES WITH THE COATHANGERS AND NATURAL CHILD BEGIN IN MARCH AHEAD OF NEW ALBUM UNDERNEATH THE RAINBOW

On the heels of the announcement of their upcoming full length Underneath the Rainbow (out March 18 on Vice), flower punk progenitors Black Lips have booked a full US tour stretching from early March into May (full dates below). In addition to appearances at Burgerama, and SXSW the band will mount a headlining tour joined at various points byThe Coathangers and Natural Child. Black Lips' emphasis on impassioned performances has rendered their live shows a cornerstone of their international appeal, leading to appearances at coveted festivals such as Coachella,BonnarooLollapaloozaPrimavera, and more in addition to tours in such far flung locales as ThailandTurkey,Australia, and a highly ambitious, ground-breaking tour of the Middle East (recently the focus of a feature length documentary Kids Like You & Me).

In addition to the tour announcement, the band have unveiled the cover art for Underneath the Rainbow, featuring a photo by legendary music photographer Mick Rock (David BowieQueen). Comprised of songs recorded over the last year at sessions with Charles Bradley's music director Tommy Brenneck (Cee LoDap Kings), Patrick Carney ofThe Black Keys, and lifetime Lips recording collaborator, Ed RawlsUnderneath The Rainbow stands testament to the quartet's growth and maturation over the course of their 15 year career via a honed and perfected take on their patenthook-laden psychedelic garage-pop.
