Tonight in Brooklyn
the Black Lips and about 200 kids, weirdos, and general miscreants took to the streets after the Lips played an acoustic set at SoundFix. The set was peppered with circus like interludes in which a burlesque dancing wolfman and girl got things moving to Britney Spears' "Toxic" as well as a full marching band on stage which then took the audience on their parade to the newly opened Music Hall of Williamsburg. The parade took control of the whole street leaving cars slowly following behind the madness. Confetti was strewn into the air a few times on the walk as onlookers gathered on the street to see what the hell all the fuss was about. With horns blaring and drums banging the parade ended at the start of the real show.
It was quite a spectacle and a fun thing to be a part of. To commemorate I'm putting up a classic Lips song that they played in full acoustic glory - Hippie, Hippie, Hoorah.
PS: There were wigs, gold lame tights, and face paint far as the eye could see. grand.
Enjoy!
