I keep running into the Black Lips. I met them at SXSW, Lollapalooza and at the Vice.com party. They took my boys Cerebral Ballzy on tour with them and one of them is dating my friend Katy. I have heard nothing but good things about these guys and they all seemed like good people. I was really hoping that when I finally saw them I was going to like their band.

Luckily I did. Those guys kicked ass at Fun Fun Fun and put on an amazing show. Slayer started playing in the middle of their set but after I shot Slayer’s first couple of songs I ran back across the festival grounds and caught the end of the Black Lips set. I came back just in time to see my friend Faith make a poorly executed stage dive where she hit her legs on the crowd barricade and was limping around the rest of the trip. Despite her fail it was actually fucking amazing move especially for what appears to be this innocent looking adorable girl.

Anyway, the Black Lips were awesome and I can’t wait to check them out again in a rock club instead of a big festival with Slayer playing 300 yards away… I’d love to get some better shots of these guys.
