Black Lips Ready Single, Add UK Dates
Black Lips will roll out the red carpet for Good Bad Not Evil with the release of the album's first single, "Katrina", on September 3 in the UK."Katrina" (on Vice, just like the album-- though only available in the UK, unlike the album) will be available as a digital download and on two limited edition seven-inch releases, each featuring a different B-side. Those two tracks? "Boomerang" and "Italian Sexual Frustration".
The Atlanta foursome have also added dates to their previously reported tour. But instead of going the more traveled route and adding them to the end of the tour, the band have tacked them on right at the beginning. Now, they will tourorize the UK later this month and in early September before heading back to the U.S. Their first show abroad is August 30 in Manchester, England.
