After hearing that The Black Lips have a reputation for "crazy live shows that include vomiting, urination, nudity, & band members kissing", I was a bit nervous but so excited to go to their concert in Washington, DC. Although the band has matured a little bit, they still put on a crazy performance. The Black Lips has slowly built a fanbase that appreciates (and joins in with) their energy and their ecletic style of mixing blues, rock, country and punk music into one signature sound. Gentleman Jesse & His Men opened for The Black Lips and they had some really catchy songs for a band I had never heard of. Then the Black Lips were up. They alternated between fun upbeat songs and dark haunting "mosh pit creating" freaky as hell songs like "Buried Alive" including scary witch-like cackling and strobe lights. Cole even did part of the set with a cigarette hanging out of his nose. They may be strange, scary, and odd but who cares, Cole Alexander is so hot!!!
