The Black Lips live reputation precedes the band wherever they go. After all, how many bands are banned from India? So it was a little disconcerting to hear the group were playing the decidedly family-friendly Yonge and Dundas Square. And while they kept it in their pants, they did have half a dozen fans dancing on stage with them before the night was out, much to the chagrin of security. Oh yeah, they actually sounded great as well, even having King Khan & BBQ Show join them onstage, hopefully a sign of things to come from their new LP together.
