Apparently, just apparently, the Black Lips will be touring the United States again starting October 28 in North Carolina. Now it would be kind of really cool if they decided to keep going north all the way to Cambridge, Massachusetts to play the Middle East downstairs again in November. But it would be even cooler if they just zipped on over here in early August before embarking on a tour in Europe. It actually makes more sense for them to zip over here than to just peace out from Atlanta.

Boston to Vorarlberg, Austria: 3811.3 mi
Atlanta to Vorarlberg, Austria: 4125.8 mi

That extra 314.5 miles could be a real bitch. So if they just play Monday, August 10 at the Middle East downstairs, they could play an awesome sold out show and make some good dough on top of that selling more t-shirts and 200 Million Thousand CDs.

But, if for whatever reason, the above is not possible…the November thing sounds pretty cool. We Boston die-hard Black Lips fans would much appreciate another show imminently!
