Garbled garagists THE BLACK LIPS are a beautiful disaster spreading bruised pop like a social disease. Like everything about the Brian Jonestown Massacre, everything about the Black Lips music (and the band’s venue and label, Die Slaughterhaus) is DIY and art-damaged — frayed or faded — yet takes on supersaturated supersonics. This is surf rock clawing from a froth of psychedelic phlegm dripping from Spanish moss. On stage, the chaos is fluid — and may even spread some fluids. The Black Lips may not technically play rock best, but they will rock you best.

Butch WalkerBUTCH WALKER has been a part of the local music scene long enough to have outlived two or three generations of fans going out to see his bands, which have included The Floyds and the Marvelous 3. After jumping around between hair-metal and power-pop in search of attaining his rock star dreams, Walker now has a major-label solo debut, "Left of Self-Centered", that sounds like he's finally settling into his own skin: metal-pop. He's a big-rock true-believer if ever there was one, headbanging more confidently and accessibly than ever.
