One of the craziest live bands of the twenty-first century, Atlanta’s Black Lips have earned their reputation by putting on shows powered by great songs and plenty of mass destruction. From tearing up boats to taking part in fierce toilet paper wars to dancing with fans onstage who broke down security barricades, you never quite know what you’re gonna get at a Black Lips show, but you can always count on its being memorable. On October 29, the bad boys will be headlining Hell at the Hall, an evening of insane partying at Webster Hall, with Cole, Jared, Ian, and Joe being joined by appropriately named Puerto Rican punk rockers Davila 666, who kicked ass at this summer’s 4Knots Festival with a raucous set that included a Spanish-language cover of the Nerves’ / Blondie’s “Hanging on the Telephone,” and Brooklyn psychedelic goths Xray Eyeballs, who are afraid of nothing. Vice, who is throwing this wild shindig, strongly encourages costumes and plenty of TP; in addition, if you want to win a pair of free tickets, e-mail the best / worst / strangest / sickest / weirdest Halloween trick you ever pulled to Vice, who advise, “If you send us a story about actually beating up a child for candy, you will not win these tickets, and we hope you don’t win anything. Ever. Stories about egging people who give out walnuts are totally fine though. Fuck those people.”
