Atlanta flower-punks Black Lips invited hundreds of fans up on stage with them during their set at last weekend’s Leeds festival.
Black Lips are one of most volatile live groups on the planet. The band have a love of losing themselves in the music, however this often results in some spectacularly memorable – if bizarre – moments.
Once, the group’s lead singer urinated into his own mouth while a recent tour of India ended in disaster. After kissing and fondling each other onstage Black Lips were warned by police to leave the country, before having a mad-cap dash to the airport.
Taking to the stage at Leeds festival the group seemed in the mood to party. Black Lips played a variety of material from their latest album ‘200 Million Thousand’, acclaimed by critics as one of their finest to date.

However the band soon turned into their foul-mouthed best. “Take Brian Wilson’s penis out of your mouth. You’ve been digging on him too long,” guitarist Cole Alexander told the crowd. Playing a string of fan’s favourites the crowd erupted when Black Lips invited them to party onstage.
