In 1971, Lester Bangs published an essay called "James Taylor Marked for Death," in which he heralded the Troggs as the raw libido of rock 'n roll. "Wild Thing" was the artless, "pure id" rock song ideal. Cue Black Lips: Seemingly ignorant of 40 years of musical evolution, they rip through song after song of merciless, riotous rock. You won't hear anything especially new in it, but you won't be complaining either, especially after their notoriously debauched live shows. Tonight, they play the Pool with art-punk geniuses Deerhunter, psych-soulsters King Khan & the Shrines, and Tall Firs.
