The Black Lips are kind of like a traveling circus made up of rowdy musicians. You never know what to expect when they roll into town, but you’re pretty certain they’ll break a lot of stuff and sleep with your sister before they leave. This past Sunday, the Georgia rockers brought some chaos to the pool, along with King Khan and his Shrines. Deerhunter didn’t really destroy/break/throw anything, but that doesn’t mean their set was any less impressive. More photos after the jump.
Also, today is the 8/8/08 Boadrum, so you know, go to that.

Our July 6th Pool Party line-up will be announced very soon…LIKE RIGHT NOW:
Rock and roll legend Ronnie Spector has been added to our already diverse summer lineup. Joining Ronnie will be The Rabbit Factory Soul Revue with Southern Soul icons Ralph “Soul” Jackson & Roscoe Robinson, Herman Hitson and Wiley and the Checkmates. You certainly do not want to miss this Rock and Soul Dance Party, and sure-to-be-historic moment at JellyNYC’s Pool Parties!
Let’s announce July 13th, too - OK!? Matt + Kim and The Whip will perform with another special guest TBA. Go watch super-fun videos of Matt + Kim at SXSW on their website!
We’ve already announced Black Lips and Deerhunter for August 3rd, but then we went ahead and just added King Khan + His Shrines and Tall Firs to the bill!
While we’re at it, Aesop Rock and Panther have just been added to our August 17th show! Watch Aesop Rock’s video for ‘Pigs’ here, featuring the artwork of Jeremy Fish.
And remember, tickets for the July 31st Apples in Stereo and Earlimart show at Brooklyn’s Masonic Temple are available at this TicketWeb link: http://www.ticketweb.com/snl/EventListings.action?orgId=22163
We’ve also announced MGMT for the July 27th Pool Party, but we just got our hands on the video from their recent Conan O’Brien appearance, and we would love to share it with you. For your viewing pleasure:

Yesterday I was a bit of a tease, and I’m sorry about that. You people want announcements, and I’m here to provide you with them. Hopefully I can make it up to you today by announcing TWO POOL PARTY LINE-UPS!!
Sun July 20th Pool Party Line-up ANNOUNCED: Liars, Fuck Buttons, and Team Robespierre!
Sun August 3rd Pool Party Line-up ANNOUNCED: Black Lips, Deerhunter, and special guest TBA!
Here’s lots of band-related stuff worth checking out:
Liars love Radiohead, and will be back on tour with them in August. They also love Nirvana, or at least an occasional ‘Territorial Pissings’ cover.
Fuck Buttons make videos way more interesting that your iTunes visualizer.
Team Robespierre is playing in Greenpoint on Saturday, will be in London for a good bit of June, but will be back in Brooklyn in plenty of time for the July 20th Pool Party!
The Vice Records website has some Black Lips mp3s for download, and if you haven’t seen the ‘Veni Vidi Vici’ video yet, you should probably get on that.
Deerhunter has a really great blog that they keep very updated. More bands should do that! Good job, Deerhunter.
I’d say that was a pretty good announcement for today. And as much as I hate being a tease (I love being a tease), I have a feeling we might have ANOTHER announcement tomorrow!
