• Black Lips | Saturday, March 14 | 8:00 pm | $15 | Logan Square Auditorium, Chicago, IL – Map | The Atlanta-based punk band – whose song-style screams slightly of the Violent Femmes’ unbridled quirks, and whose stage antics are pretty much not for the faint of heart (much less the weak of stomach) – will be promoting their new album “200 Million Thousand”. The evening’s line-up will also include Gentleman Jesse & His Men, Boystown, and The Get Drunk DJs. Click here for tickets.
