Lips @ The Horseshoe Tavern

Lips-a 3 piece rock band based out of Toronto, they’re a Self proclaimed "terrorist glam rock" band…and I couldn’t agree more. Last year they released a track called "Painkiller" with a crazy music video, which uses clips from a short film called "Girl In the Rubber Mask"; written and directed by Franck Blaess. The song is a straight ahead rocker with serious 90s vibes, steady drums rock along in line with the driving bass line as the guitar sprinkles in some tasty treats throughout the verse. Overall the song captures a great vibe, with good harmonies over the chorus, and a singer who doesn’t lack in keeping things interesting. These guys appear to be new on the scene; however, they headlined Lee’s Palace last week, if you missed that, you can see them on 08/03 @ Horseshoe Tavern. – Kris Gies
