Right on time after I posted a live video of the band on Sunday, the Black Lips share their side of a new split 7″ with The Coathangers, due out in November on Suicide Squeeze.

Though These Arms are Snakes broke up quite a few years ago, now, I’ll always remember them as 1.) owning one of my favorite guitar tones of all time, and 2.) being the band I saw at just the right time in my life when a raucous, nihilistic live show seemed like the perfect form of therapy for my young adult angst. I still remember driving to Cleveland with my friend Nina to go see them and watching a crowd member get clocked in the head by a ladder that vocalist Steve Snere dug out of who-knows-where backstage. Keep reading after the jump for a look at how rowdy they could get when playing in front of a sizable crowd.
***An additional note for those of you that may have found your way to the blog over the weekend: Our weekly radio show is on tonight from 9PM – 12AM EST. Tune in to hear what Jim and I sound like when we’re sober/slightly more rational. 88.3FM if you’re in Pittsburgh, and streaming at www.wrct.org everywhere else in the world.***

Fun fact: This is actually the sound of Childbirth (mems. of Chastity Belt and Tacocat) dialing things back a bit, considering their last song was a quite literal one titled “I Only Fucked You As A Joke”.
This one doesn’t sound too far off from yesterdays song of the day. If the name Shana Cleveland sounds familiar, it’s probably because you’ve heard her singing for Seattle indie surfers La Luz.
