Underneath the Rainbow album cover shot by Mick Rock
Black Lips, this damn band needs no introduction around here. Fuck, the name of our site is a Black Lips reference! Boston Black Lips freaks, you’ve been waiting for this moment for three years… on Saturday, April 19 KLYAM’s #1 band is hitting up the Paradise and they’re bringing along their Southern garage punk brethren Natural Child! Been meaning to see those guys live for years!

And if you haven’t heard already, The New Highway Hymnal are playing a single release show for “Out With The Lights” on Wednesday, July 11 at the glorious Great Scott. It’s a stacked line up with fellow rock ‘n’ rollers The Migs, MMOSS, and Creaturos. Damn, I hope to make it out, so should you!
Y’all punkers love Black Flag, right? Well you must check out Black Flag’s roadie, Mugger’s band, Nig Heist, which often opened for Black Flag in the 80s. Here’s a great interview from Vice with Mugger.
