Black Lips Announce US Tour, Confirm ‘Underneath The Rainbow’ Art

From March 2014, Black Lips are taking their ‘Underneath the Rainbow’ album - the follow-up to 2011’s ‘Arabia Mountain’ - on the road. Shows include a Georgia date with Deerhunter and a two month jaunt across North America. Support for the dates comes from Coathangers and Natural Child and the Atlanta group also make a quick stopover at Austin Texas’ SXSW festival (they return for a show at Austin Psych Fest in April).

Further to this, the band have unveiled some grunge-era channelling artwork that could be mistaken for belonging to a savage metal band by a cursory browser in HMV.

VICE release the new album on 18th March.
