Black Lips w/ Escape-ism, Chico Detour at Clock-Out Lounge

Black Lips headline a garage-rock bill at Clock-Out Lounge, bringing their unmistakable southern-fried twang to Seattle. The Atlanta band has built its reputation on scuzzy blues, doo-wop, country and punk — and on live shows that are as infamous as their songwriting. Expect ragged, high-energy guitar music from a group that has turned two decades of impulsive living and wild nights into a sound.

Escape-ism, the Found-Sound-Dream-Drama of Ian Svenonius and Sandi Denton, and Chico Detour open the night with post-punk textures that sit nicely against the headliner's garage grit. The result is a 21+ evening of loud, loose and unpolished rock in a Seattle club.
