Tonight! Tonight in Music: Black Lips and Marty Marquis

Posted by Arian Jalali on Tue, Jun 14, 2011 at 11:56 AM


BLACK LIPS, CEREBRAL BALLZY
(Wonder Ballroom, 128 NE Russell) The ferocious young upstarts in Black Lips are gradually evolving into elder statesmen, as their sun-dazed garage nuggets boast a maturity that seemed unthinkable a few short years ago. Not that the Lips have lost any of the fun: Their latest, Arabia Mountain, is as grimy a punk platter as the Atlanta quartet has ever released. NED LANNAMANN


MARTY MARQUIS, MIKE ELIA
(Valentine's, 232 SW Ankeny) A little Blitzen Trapper downtime never stops Marty Marquis from getting out there and strumming/sipping a few. The copper-haired multi-instrumentalist keeps with the spirit of his full-time band—rootsy folk songs and a proclivity for storytelling (during and in between songs). Also expect a few unexpected covers thrown in the mix. It'll be just like seeing the Trappers... minus the other five members and 1,000 or so fans. And you can probably lob some obscure requests at him. And buy him a beer. And ask him when the new Blitzen Trapper record is coming out, and what it's like to be on Sub Pop. And then tell him how much you love him. Then ask for an autograph. Actually, don't do any of that (except for the beer part). MARK LORE
