200 Million Thousand stands as the band’s fifth studio album and, apart from some somber moments, it doesn’t depart much from past material. The self-described “flower-punk” band has been terrorizing audiences everywhere since its members met as teenagers in Atlanta.

But under all that bizarreness lies catchy melodies and classic rock compositions. Not surprisingly, the Black Lips have often been tagged as more of a circus act than a music group. Known for its crazy antics, the band’s history of performance-“enhancing” stunts - including mid-concert make-outs, naked crowd surfing and even the occasional golden shower (yes, they actually pee on the crowd) - certainly makes for a memorable show. It’s difficult to say whether the decision to attend a Black Lips concert is be the best or worst idea ever, but the concert would undoubtedly be a mesmerizing event.
