Our friends at Vinyl Mag interviewed Black Lips at SXSW to talk about BL’s latest album, Underneath the Rainbow, their Middle Eastern tour, their favorite Georgia venue and what’s next for the band.
VM: What’s your favorite venue to play in Georgia?
Jared: If you could fill it up, I really like Variety Playhouse. Actually, now that they’ve redone the Georgia Theatre. I really like the Georgia Theatre.
"In 1995, RPGs were stuck in a rut that Dragon Quest had dug. Most were still set in medieval times, with knights and mages battling mythical monsters with swords and magic. Few games dared to defy this mold until EarthBound (Mother 2 as it is known in Japan). No other game was like it, except maybe its prequel, Mother, which had not been released outside of Japan. EarthBound introduced, and even today continues to introduce, RPG fans to an entirely different experience.
The story is set in the 1990s in Eagleland, a kitschy and romanticized parody of America (perfect lawns and quiet suburbs). No dragons, mystical knights, or staff-wielding wizards appear in this game. You are just an average 13 year old kid from the suburbs...until the night a meteor lands in your backyard. The local wildlife start attacking you, a gang of local hoodlums begins causing trouble downtown, you realize that you have psychic powers, and a mysterious messenger from the future tells you that you are destined to save the world. But, before you face any of this, your mom reminds you to change out of your pajamas.
Armed with a cracked baseball bat, a lucky charm for protection, and whatever food you can find (including whatever gets thrown into the trashcan outside the burger joint), you begin your quest to stop the evil alien Giygas from destroying the world."
"O.G" and new fans came together in Buffalo, NY for the first night of Chiodos' The Devil's Dance tour. The night was filled with nostalgia, progress, and sweat.

Over the years, video games have made leaps and bounds in the advancement of technology. What was once simple pixelated graphics and monotone chiptune music, has now evolved to a display of near photo-realistic graphics accompanied with rich and powerful scores that stir the emotions within. Video game music has always been a crucial element in gaming, it has the power to extend far past the initial playthrough and infest our minds with it’s addicting melodies. It has become iconic, going hand in hand with the actual game itself.
