Psychedelic-garage masters Black Lips announced an April tour with Vivian Girls last month that left the entire west coast in the cold. Originally, they planned on kicking off in Miami with Bruise Cruise (the coolest vacation you can't afford), making a loop around the great lakes and finishing down in Baton Rouge, but the anticipation of their new album (produced by top-40 wizard Mark Ronson) has them second-guessing. A newly released list of dates in June with NY hardcore-punks Cerebral Ballzy includes every major city in the west, ensuring no fan is missed.
